Easy Vanilla Cake

So I have been searching for just a basic vanilla cake recipe and this one always pops up. I was so hesitant because of all the reviews but followed this recipe, with some tweaks listed in the reviews. Here is what I did: I lowered the amount of flour to 1 and 1/2 cups, lowered baking powder to 2 teaspoons, (accidentally) did 2 tablespoons of vanilla, 1 teaspoon of salt, and substituted milk for buttermilk.I also followed someone's tweak to the instructions. I creamed my oil and sugar and then added the wet ingredients. Once combined I added in my dry ingredients and whisked together before beating on low for about a minute. I cooked mine for about 35 minutes, a whole hour is WAY too long.All in all, with a lot of tweaks this recipe is good, just make sure to read reviews before making things.

It has great taste! But... It is a little dry, and I think it can be done with a little less time in the oven. It says "about an hour", I did 50 minutes and could even go less than 50 minutes. It does taste great!Revised: I baked this cake again, but tried a few different things.First, I creamed the sugar and oil together for 1-2 minutes until lighter in color and slightly creamy. Then, add the eggs and the rest of the liquid ingredients.Second, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.Lastly, bake for 35 to 37 minutes.It was very soft and moist, not burned or overbaked.

I'm a thirteen year old girl, and my friend told me to make her, her birthday cake. I chose this recipe and she and every one LOVED IT SOOOOOO GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really good,added 2 cups of blueberries and topped it off with sour cream icing. YUMMY!!

I guess it was a cake but it was super dense and hard as a rock just about fell apart in the oven technically it was edible but didn’t taste great. I would never make this again terrible.

This recipe was good. Although it was a bit off, that may just have been from over baking it. It rose significantly from the middle, but that may have been something I did as well. I wasn't expecting that, though.

I added 1 cup milk instead to make it less thick. I like that it was thick because I used it for cupcakes. Substituted 1/3 of flour with cocoa powder to make it chocolate. Very dense not much flavor but that work well for me cause I use American buttercream which is very sweet . Only baked 30 minutes.Good recipe

My cake turned out perfect. Instead of non stick spray I buttered the sides, and cut a parchment piece to fit the bottom only and then buttered that to stick to the bottom , this will give a brown crisp look around the cake border. I then made a buttercream for the inside , and cut the the cake in half to spread it then re-assembled it with buttercream on top as well. I made 3 versions of buttercream one with blueberry, banana, and plain. Here's the recipe for the buttercreamIngredients3cups powdered sugar1/3cup butter, softened1 1/2teaspoons vanilla1to 2 tablespoons milk

Simple easy recipe and also easy to follow and add as you wish
