Ultimate Basic Birthday Yellow Cake (1 - Layer) image

Originally from the post of BettyR at cheftalk.com (FINALLY!!!!!! That perfect homemade yellow cake). I posted here for safe keeping and checking on nutritional values. This recipe makes a 3-layer cake (9x1 1/2 inch pans). This is the scaled down version for a single layer cake using only 1 egg.

Time 50m

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (do not sift the flour)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt (add just a pinch)
1/3 cup and 2 . 5 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 teaspoons butter, softened (1/3 stick)
1/3 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cut wax paper to fit the bottom of a 9 x 1 1/2-inch round pan. Spray the pan with cooking spray, place the wax paper in the pan and spray the paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, mixing well.
  • Combine milk with vegetable oil and stir thoroughly.
  • Add the milk/vegetable oil mixture, butter and vanilla to the flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium to medium-high speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
  • Add the eggs and continue beating an additional 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near center of cake comes out clean, or until cake springs back when touched lightly in the center.
  • Cool cakes on wire racks for 15 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely.
  • Frost as desired.
