A cross between yellow and white cake, vanilla cake is a mixture of both, with the lightness and airy crumb of a white cake with the moisture and tenderness of a yellow cake. Of course, with a name like 'vanilla cake' it HAS to be vanilla-y enough to make a difference. The name says it all: This is the one to serve at birthdays and other celebrations that call for the perfect version of a traditional American layer cake. This vanilla cake is the result of bringing together the best of Japanese sponge cakes and Western butter based cakes.
Steps to make Vanilla cake:
- For the cake: Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Line baking pan with parchment paper and/or spray well with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together to combine. Set aside.
- In a liquid measuring cup, stir milk and vanilla together. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, mix butter, oil and sugar together until combined. Mix in eggs and egg whites, one at a time, until mixture becomes very light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again briefly.
- Alternate adding in flour mixture with milk mixture, being sure to start and end with flour. Scrape the sides and mix again to ensure a smooth batter. Divide evenly between baking pans. Bake 30-40 minutes. Cake will be done when a toothpick comes out clean or mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool 15-20 minutes in cake pans before trying to invert on cooling racks. Cool completely before frosting and decorating.
- For the buttercream: Measure out the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, start to combine the butter into the powdered sugar.
- With the mixer on, slowly stream in your milk tablespoon by tablespoon until it starts to come together and look creamy.
- If it hasn’t come together, add another tablespoon, mix and wait it out. After about 2 or 3 tablespoons, your frosting should be thick enough to hold its shape, but light enough to have a butter knife or rubber scraper run through it with ease.
- Once you reach this point, you are done and the buttercream is ready to use.
- Enjoy!
