Yield Makes 1 (13- by 9-inch) cake or 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, kept at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan (not dark) or 2 (8- or 9-inch) round pans.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer (fitted with paddle if using a standing mixer) at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla, and beat until thoroughly incorporated, about 5 minutes. Mix in flour mixture in 4 batches alternately with milk at low speed, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until batter is just smooth, then spread evenly in pan.
  • Bake cake in middle of oven until it begins to pull away from sides of pan and a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes (cake will be pale in color, not golden brown like a cake-mix cake). Cool 5 minutes in pan, then invert onto a rack and cool completely.

I'm not a baker, but this recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great! It was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by using less sugar in the frosting.

This is the best yellow cake recipe I've ever tried! It was so moist and fluffy, and the frosting was perfect. I will definitely be making this again and again.
