Similarly to my “easiest chocolate cake” recipe, this vanilla cake is super light, fluffy, and delicious while still being super easy. It’s made in one bowl so it comes together in no time, but is still sure to please a crowd. I also like to frost this cake with my fudgy chocolate frosting, but you could try any other flavored buttercream or whatever toppings you want (fruit, whipped cream, etc.)
Prep time: 20 minutes | Cook time: 45 minutes | Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes Ingredients: 1 ⅓ cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla ¾ cup oil ¾ cup milk Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Alternatively, grease the pan with cooking spray or butter and flour it. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 3. Add in the eggs, vanilla, oil, and milk and whisk until well combined, and then whisk vigorously for one to two minutes to aerate the batter. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until it springs back when lightly touched or a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 5. Let it cool completely in the pan before frosting it as desired and slicing. It will stay good in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
