    How to make a perfect Vanilla Cake?

    • Start creaming the butter and sugar by whisking it until the mixture turns pale in color
    • Now gradually add the beaten egg to it and blend them without curdling(if it curdles add a teaspoon of flour until the eggs are done)
    • Add vanilla essence to the above butter mixture and incorporate them well
    • Sieve the flour, salt, baking soda and, baking powder into the bowl and combine well
    • Now add the milk in batches and whisk them to combine, make sure that the batter is not too thin

    Baking Vanilla Cake

    • Pour the cake batter into a greased cake tin and bake it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean when inserted
    • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool down completely
    • Slice the cake into pieces

    Tips

    • The key to getting a perfect soft vanilla cake is to have all the ingredients at room temperature
    • Do not melt the butter while creaming with sugar. Melted butter does not incorporate well with sugar to give an airy and fluffy cake

    FAQ

    How to make perfect Vanilla Cake ?

    The key to getting a perfect vanilla cake is to have all the ingredients at room temperature. Creaming the butter and sugar to the right consistency gives the ultimate fluffy and soft cake.

    Can I bake the Cake without oven ?

    Yes, the cake can be baked even without an oven. Preheat your heavy bottom pan in medium heat for about 10 minutes and bake the cake for 30 to 40 minutes with a lid closed until the toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Is Butter Cake and Pound Cake the same ?

    Pound cake is a type of cake traditionally made with a pound of each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. Pound cakes are generally baked in either a loaf pan or a Bundt mold while butter cake has a slightly different measurement (not in the same 1:1:1 ratio) but the ingredients are similar.
