Homemade Vanilla Cake

We used 2 tsp. vanilla since we had no almond extract. We did not have a 9x9 so we used this 8x8 glass pan. It cooked well. We took it out at 40 min.We plan to split it and frost center with ganache!

Pretty good. Went with a vanilla buttercream frosting on top since that is what the family wanted. Fairly moist. Maybe a very little bit dry, but I did cook it 40ish minutes or so. We don't have a great oven.

I’m not a baker and just wanted something fun to do with my friend.It was very fun to make and the cake turned out great!also, for context on the picture, my friend left before we decorated the cake, so I thought I’d have some fun with the writing

I just tried this recipe for the first time and it turned out beautifully! I didn’t have almond extract so I used only vanilla (1tsp), but otherwise I followed the recipe to the letter and the cake came out perfectly moist, perfectly dense, and has nice, soft texture. The photo shows it still warm from the oven and a third gone. It’s a delicious, easy cake recipe which I will be making again.

It was wonderful although I did add blue dye and didn’t have almond extract or Cornstarch it turned out delicious

Best vanilla cake recipe I’ve ever made! Used this twice before and they were great both times. I’ve figured out that almond extract is optional, but the vanilla is a must! I will never use a different recipe, this one is perfect!!

So I didn’t use the almond extract, plus my daughter asked for a chocolate cake for her birthday so I made it a bit different. Almost the same just sans almond extract plus some cocoa powder. It came out lovely. I done have an electric mixer and it wasn’t a problem. I also doubled the recipe in order to make a two layer version. I would say putting the cakes in the freezer for half an hour and lining the pan with coconut oil definitely helps when trying to get it out of the cake pan. I love this recipe it’s absolutely yummy and works well (especially for a novice like myself.)

As many other people did, I used vanilla extract instead of the almond extract. I also softened the butter before using it, even though the recipe didn't say to.
