Making a really good cake that starts with “cream butter and sugar until fluffy….” is actually harder than you think. The butter has to be at the perfect temperature, and you can’t have chilly mixing bowls. Plain / all purpose flour –compared to cake flour,the flavour of the butter and vanilla comes through better, the crumb is slightly more velvety AND it keeps slightly more moist too. Bonus: no need to hunt down / pay a premium for cake flour! Do not substitute with self raising flour or gluten free flour.
x 20cm / 8″ cake pan – 21 minutes (if all one one shelf). Otherwise, put 2 on middle shelf and 1 pan on shelf underneath. Bake top 2 pans for 21 minutes, remove from oven. Move bottom pan up and bake for another 2 minutes then remove. Milk, full fat –just plain cow milk. Low fat works as well but rises marginally less.

Ask a party supply store to create your dream 2nd birthday party decoration , or DIY your own with a race car balloon garland kit . Why is vanilla cake “so hard”? It seems hard to find the perfect cake because there is nothing to hide behind, it is one of the purest forms of baking. And the “cream butter and sugar” step is the biggest cause of problems, setting up the cake for success or failure from the very start (read above).
Recipe
There’s a widely held misconception that cake flour is the secret to a better cake. That’s only true for certain cakes. For this one, plain / all purpose flour yields better results. Ingredients in my Best Vanilla Cake recipe And with all that – I’m finally done.Finally happy. This is THE Vanilla Cake recipe that is my best all rounder. For birthday cakes, special occasions, to make to impress the pants off your family and friends. Eggs– whipped to aerate, these are key to make the cake extraordinarily light and fluffy. You don’t get an eggy flavour; As tender as it can be but still be stable enough to make a large layered cake smothered with frosting or piles of cream and berries.In contrast, Chiffon Cakes and Japanese Sponges which, while lighter still, cannot actually hold up to much extra weight – the bottom layer gets quite squished.

This car-filled party theme is perfect for little ones who love playing with cars, watching cars go by, or just all things fast and exciting! PLAIN– do not underestimate the power of this cake. It’s so moist with such a lovely vanilla and buttery flavour, it is sensational eaten plain. Though if serving to company, I do think it’s nice to at least finish it with a dusting of icing sugar / powdered sugar, and perhaps add a dollop of cream on the side and a fresh strawberry (or two)! Hot melted butter in milk– use a microwave or stove to heat milk with the butter until it melts. Believe it or not, HOT milk helps with aeration in this cake. I doubted it, so I tried with cooled melted butter in milk and found it did not rise as well. And even if you nail it, the cake rapidly loses freshness. Even the next day it’s noticeably drier. I’ve tried dozens and dozens over the years, to compare to this Vanilla Cake. This recipe puts all to shame in terms of fresh shelf life. Traffic signs - I used this traffic light from my son's train set. This set of traffic signs would also look great on the dessert table.Again, we see another popular balloon being yumm-ified and made into its own adorable cookie (this one does it with these super cute number two road pattern foil balloons). @goodieswithglam Wrapping Up
