The cake flavour that was requested was a vanilla cake. I googled for some recipes and decided to try out the recipe posted by Joy of Baking. Recipe was easy and I must say it's indeed yummy and moist even after 3 days! So yes, this recipe is going into the KEEP box!
Moist Vanilla Cake |
Vanilla Cake
as seen and adapted from Joy of Baking
What You'll Need:
345
grams sifted all purpose flour
1 tablespoon
baking
powder
1/2
teaspoon salt
226 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
315
grams granulated white
sugar (I have reduced the sugar by 35 grams)
4
large
eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
240 ml
room temperature milk
How To:1. Preheat oven to 350 F / 180 C. Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans.
2. In a bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the paddle attachment, (or with a hand mixer) beat the butter until soft and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
4. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
5. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
6. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
7. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture (in three additions) and milk (in two additions), beginning and ending with the flour.
8. Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared pans, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
9. Bake 27 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in center.
10. Place the cakes on a wire rack to cool, in their pans, for about 10 minutes. Then invert the cakes onto a greased rack. Remove the parchment or wax paper and re-invert cakes so that tops are right side up. Cool completely before frosting.
Oh yeah, this is the outcome of the decorated cake. And I'm glad the newly weds and their guests loved it as much as I do! :)
So, happy baking!
