This easy vanilla cake is the best and the only recipe you will need!
Ingredients
- 3 cups (450 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups (420 g) sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) canola oil
- 1 1/4 cup (310 ml) milk
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter two 8-inch (20-cm) springform pans and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer for 10 minutes or until thick, pale and triple in volume. Drizzle in the oil while beating.
- At low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter into the pans and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from the pans and let completely cool on a wire rack. If necessary, cut and remove the cake tops to level each cake before frosting.
