BEST Vanilla Butter Cake IN THE WORLD! Cake Recipe Tutorial!

[@lea_vaughn]

I just made this cake and it is suuuuuper buttery and full of flavor. It's very dense but it's perfect for what I need it for. You don't need to shower it with simple syrup since it is already super moist and sweet. This is my new favorite vanilla cake recipe.

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's so AWESOME to know you liked it Lea! Thank you so much! :)

[@ludatiffany2004]

Did the ingredients have to be room temperature??

[@lea_vaughn]

@@ludatiffany2004 Yes. The butter, half&half and eggs should be at room. I was taught to never put cold batter in the oven.

[@johanna_The_Reader]

How much milk you used? I don’t see it in the list

[@mariajoannou9936]

@@johanna_The_Reader on the list is half'n'half which I believe is what we call in the UK, single cream added to milk.

[@RVC0902]

Thank you. I made this and it turned out amazing. The best cake I have ever made. The potato starch makes all the difference. One tip that might be useful for some. I used 3 x 9 inch Wilton round pans. I used cake strips on two of the pans and omitted the cake strips on another pan. The layers that used cake strips were perfection. I did not have to trim the sides. The pan without the strips were crusted. Cake strips with this recipe is unbelievable.

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's so awesome to hear RVC! Thank you for the great feedback! We actually love the crusted sides. They're the most delicious part of the cake! Haha! :) But so glad you loved this recipe! Thank you for letting us know! :)

[@RVC0902]

@@krazykoolcakes Thanks for the tip. I will leave it on. Also, I didn't have brandy so I used rum. Was still delicious. I now bought some brandy for my next cake. Please let me know if you have an email so I can send you photos the next time I make a cake. Both of you taught me how to make a vanilla cake, tort a cake, fill it, and ice it with buttercream. I also use your buttercream (soft and hard) recipes. You are the cake fairies. Also huge thanks for the "pricing" videos. Love from Canada

[@Mrscvbuzz]

So I’ve made this cake a few times now and it has been perfect and such a hit. I just made it again yesterday, but instead I made a marble version. I took 1.5 cups of the batter, separated it into another bowl, added about 4 tbsp of cocoa powder, about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and three in some chocolate chips. I gently mixed it all together. Then I put the plain vanilla into my pans and equally added dollops of the chocolate on top. Then I very gently swirled it in. OMG...another level. So freaking good!!

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's so awesome! So glad you've enjoyed it so much! Yes, that's how we make our marbled cake as well by combining our chocolate butter cake with our vanilla butter cake. Be sure to also check out our chocolate butter cake tutorial. I'm tickled that you like it so much! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@sg30008]

Omg!! Made the chocolate version yesterday n vanilla cupcakes today...these r just to die for...been baking for yrs trying to perfect my butter cakes...no more..these r perfect. Thank you..💕

[@krazykoolcakes]

YAY! I'm so happy you liked the recipes! They're our favorite! :) You're VERY welcome and thanks for the awesome feedback.

[@squally8830]

I did a test run of this cake & I just happened to have a nip of brandy in my cabinet. Wow, this is a very delicious recipe. That brandy flavor mixed with the vanilla flavor is great. My test run was done with a lemon cream mousse filling. It turned out great. It's official, I am definitely using this recipe for my sister's wedding cake. Thank you so much for this video. 😊

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's awesome! So glad you liked it! :) Please do a tutorial on your lemon cream mousse filling! Would love to make it and try it! :) Thanks for watching our video! God bless you! :)

[@squally8830]

I just mixed about 8 oz lemon curd, 8 oz cream cheese, & 8 oz cool whip & let it sit in the fridge overnight b4 putting it on the cake. I got this from cake central. 😊

[@ludatiffany2004]

Did the ingredients have to be room temperature? The milk and eggs?

+Maria Mort Awwwww... that was so kind of you. Thank you and I DID have a much better day today.

[@redhotsweetpotatoe]

+Krazy Kool Cakes... Thank you for your kind words. Fortunately I was raised with strong Christian beliefs. I decided the best way to get out of my, as my Mom use to call it, "Go-Blutz" mood, was to visit someone more in need of a hug than myself. The visit did both myself and my 95 year old little friend a world of good. She and I both feel much better today.

I now know how to charge and if they choose not to purchase, they weren't my customer anyway.... your cakes and toppers are fantastic....the personality of you and your husband are wonderful, such a loving and giving spirit...May God continue to Bless you, and all that you put your hands to.

I can’t wait to try this recipe! I honestly do not know why your channel should have way more subscribers! I love your genuine natures thank you.

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's very kind of you Melinda! It's actually our fault that we don't have more subscribers. LOL. If we would just post more on a regular basis more people would "find" us. It's all about being "found". On KZbin it's hard because there are SO MANY people posting videos on a daily basis. We're so busy with our cake and cake topper business that it's super hard for us to post tutorials on a regular basis. I guess that's a good thing! Thank you for enjoying our videos! :)

[@sueerml7403]

Thank you so much for your reply! I made the cupcakes for my daughter's class and everyone LOVED them. I saw the director of her preschool this morning, and she was raving about them too. She told me that they were better than a local cupcake shop near us, and suggested that I start selling them. Lol! I actually want to start my own business, but have to wait until my daughter goes to school next year. :( I have watched most of your business videos, but was curious how you charge for cupcakes (without toppers). I'm pretty sure no one is going to pay $6.00 per serving/cupcake here. Thanks again, and God bless!

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome Sue! I'm so happy everybody loved them! I'm sure when you start your business you'll be very successful! God bless you! :)

Our TOP #3 are strawberry, Arnie's cookie's 'n cream (which we'll be making a tutorial on very soon), and bavarian cream filling. YUMMY! Anything goes great with it though and even just straight up buttercream inside is great. That's my hubby's FAVE. :)

[@janetdaniel9298]

Hello, I'm. making this cake in a 9 x 13 quarter rectangular sheet pan do I use just one batch or should I double the recipe? Do you know how many cups of batter this makes. Thanks so much for all your help. I really appreciate it.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Janet! Thank you for the question. I would definitely double it. The sheet pan should be filled halfway so when you're pouring use a spatula to spread it out nice and even and if you start going over the 1/2 way point, you know to stop. You shouldn't have a lot extra. I hope that helps! :) One batch typically makes 8 cups of batter. I hope that helps. :)

[@veronicasuarez9367]

This looks great!!definitely will try it but can u guys share a recipe for chocolate cake?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you so much! Please check out my tutorial named "BEST Chocolate Butter Cake In The World"! It's delicious! :)

[@janetdaniel9298]

Love this cake. I have made it several times using the 8 in round cake pans 3 layers. This time I want to do 9 inch round cake pans but I want 3 layers since recipe is doubled is this enough to do a 3 layer 9 inch cake having nice size layers not too thin, if so how much should I fill the pans. Do I do same temperature the same cooking time. You guys have made a baker out of me. Thanks so much. You guys are amazing.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you so much Janet! So glad you've enjoyed this recipe and the video. Very kind of you! If you'd like to make three 9" cakes that are a nice thickness then I would make a half batch more of the batter and fill your pans more than half way. That should be just the right amount. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. :)

[@janetdaniel9298]

Adding the half batch more do I keep the oven at the same baking time Convection 335 and the same baking time 35 minutes?

[@rubyisaacju]

I would like to make this cake in a 10x3 pan. Can I use this same amount of ingredients for it? Thanks 😊

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi! If you're only making one 10 x 3 then definitely. Thanks for watching! :)

[@pattieccakeart]

Hi both. Love ALL your tutorials...thank you!!! I've watched them avidly over the past 18 months...really instrumental in my development as a cake decorator. Quick question: half 'n half is milk, right??

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Pattie! Thank you SO MUCH! So glad you have found them helpful. :) Half 'n half is half milk, half creamer. here in the U.S. they sell cartons of half 'n half in the refrigerated creamer section. :)

[@pattieccakeart]

Thanks Lauda/Arnie. I'm in the UK and not seen that here. However we do have something called Channel Island milk which is from Guernsey and Jersey. Its VERY creamy milk so I'll give that a go.

Hi guys again another amazing tutorial love it❤️ but can you guys tell me in cups the flour, sugar and the potato starch. I will appreciated Thank you 😘

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Mercedes! I just added the "cups" version in the info under the video in the recipe. I hope you enjoy baking this! :)

[@sueerml7403]

Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos! I just discovered you guys, and can't get enough of your God given talent. I would love to make this recipe as cupcakes for my daughter's class next week. Could you please let me how long you bake your cupcakes for? I also have a random question that I have been researching, but was wondering what product or solution you use to clean your work surfaces/counters with? God bless, and thank you!

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome Sue! Glad you liked the video. Yes this recipe is great for cupcakes as well. You would leaven them for about 30 minutes but you want to check for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester when you see the tops turn a golden brown. We clean with only warm water. God bless you! :)

[@anacristinaramirez565]

I made this cake and the chocolate cake, and my stomach started to hurt. They are extremely sweet.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Wow! I'm so sorry you have such an extremely sensitive stomach. I've never heard of that happening. You may want to have that checked out by a doctor. I hope you feel better soon. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

I just also thought that you may want to double check that you used the right ingredients. Please note that one of the ingredients can be substituted for anything else. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome Tracie! This recipe calls for extra fine granulated sugar. :)

[@ALEKSandraNYC]

This tutorial is awesome!!! I'm going to try this recipe today. But I was wondering if I could bake this in one tall pan and cut it in three equal parts?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Aleksandra! Glad you liked it! I would recommend baking 3 individual layers as we do in the video. This cake is nice and dense. Still super soft and moist but is "strong". Having said that, the higher you make this cake, the more chance of the cake "sinking" in the center. When you bake individual cakes like we do, they come out fuller and straighter at the top so you really have to do very little torting. I hope that helps. :) Plus, we've tried it. LOL. :)

[@mishahhhh]

Hi! Is this a good cake to carve? I can’t wait to try this recipe...it sounds divine! Ty!

[@squally8830]

I'm making my sisters wedding cake next month & I think I've found a great recipe. Will this be good for making a 10 in, 8 in, & 6 in tiered cake? Also, what filling do you think would go well with this cake? Thank you

[@krazykoolcakes]

squally8830 this is a great recipe for making tiered cakes. Any fruit fillings or custards go well with this cake. Our clients really love strawberry filling, or even just the vanilla buttercream as filling is delicious as well! Thank you for watching! 😃

[@janetmorales3059]

Hi I’m new to baking, I hope this isn’t a dumb question but is it kid safe? Since it has brandy?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Janet, Not a dumb question at all. Yes, it's perfectly kid safe. The majority of the alcohol evaporates with the heat, leaving behind a delicious taste. :)

[@shteevale395]

Hi thanks for sharing...i'm always looking for the perfect recipe and this might be it! Can you taste the brandy/alcohol when you eat the cake?

[@krazykoolcakes]

It might be! I absolutely LOVE it! You can't taste the brandy in the cake, but you can taste the delicious flavor created by the brandy if that makes sense. Add such a mouth watering flavor. :)

[@tatterly20]

Used this recipe in the Wilton "dough nut" pan, and a mini heart pan and it worked fine in both pan types. Question: can only egg whites be used instead of whole eggs and this still recipe be used to make a tiered cake? Thank you both!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Amy! I've never had the need to make it with only egg whites so I have no idea what the outcome might be. I would recommend you just try it and see if you like the result.

[@tatterly20]

The color was similar to that of butter. It seemed less dense in my opinion.

[@notyourfriend5899]

You guys are so cheesy cute! Love it!

[@krazykoolcakes]

[@ouR_soundsASMR]

Omg this cake looks amazing! The perfect crumb! Is the brandy interchangeable with any type of alcohol to give a different flavor?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thanks you guys for sharing your cake recipe, I've always admired the texture and height of your cakes on all your videos. I can't wait to try it but just what is the purpose of the brandy? If I don't add should I increase the half and half?

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome Lydia! Thank you for watching! The brandy is just for some added flavor. If gives the cake a nice deep flavor. You can completely omit the brandy without having to add more of any other ingredient. I hope you enjoy it! :)

I can’t wait to try this cake but I have 2 questions... I only have salted butter would this have a huge impact on taste of the cake...should I cut back on salt in dry ingredients? I also only have 9 inch pans...hoping to make three layers will double this recipe work?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Nancy! You can buy unsalted butter at the grocery store. Be sure NOT to use salted butter. If you follow the recipe it will come out just like this. A double batch will work perfectly for three 9" cake pans. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. :)

[@rubyisaacju]

Oh i definitely gotta try this one!! Thanks for sharing! Do you add simple syrup to this cake?

Hi I really love watch both of you baking and the recipes are wonderful. I tried a few of the them already thank you so much for sharing, my question is what's the best brand of potato starch please, I see different brand.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you K Lewis! Glad you enjoy our tutorials! We usually use 2 different brands. One we purchase from nuts online.com and the other is called Bob's Red Mill Potato Starch. This 2nd one is the one you can usually find in specialty stores like whole foods or sprouts, sometimes even in regular grocery stores. It's very inexpensive even to order online. But, having said all of that, any brand will pretty much do. :)

Dear Krazy Kook Kakes- So excited to make this cake recipe. Your demonstration and presentation was enjoyable and yet skillful for a successful , delicious cake. Question: Can this cake freeze well? I have found freezing has captured "moisture" into many of my cake recipes. Thank you...

[@krazykoolcakes]

Elizabeth Morinaka thank you so much! We are very happy you liked this tutorial! I personally never recommend freezing cakes. I find that it diminishes the fresh texture of the crumb. This cake refrigerates very well for up to 5 to 7 days. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching! 💕

[@tracieflint1002]

Thank you 😊

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome Tracie! :)

[@sueerml7403]

You're so sweet! Thank you so much for responding so quickly to my question. Can't wait to make it again!!! ☺

[@krazykoolcakes]

It's my pleasure Sue! God bless you! :)

[@natashamitchell2904]

The best cake ever i made it without the brandy

[@krazykoolcakes]

Glad you liked it Natasha!

[@melissafulton84]

Hey Laura and Arnie! Cant wait to try this out tomorrow but quick question. Can you add sprinkles or any other mix ins to this cake? I cant see why not but figured i would ask

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Melissa! I think you'll really like this recipe. We've added sprinkles to this recipe before to turn it into a type of confetti/funfetti cake. It came out awesome. Thank you for watching! :)

[@ebonydantzler9298]

Love you guys..my question is can I do this for a kids party or a big event since it has brandy in it?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thanks Ebony! :) Please check out the alcohol-fee version in the info under the video. :)

[@stephaniewade7894]

Hi! First, just want to say your videos are extremely helpful and thank you for them! I want to try this recipe but I have a few questions. First, can you make different flavors out of this such as strawberry and lemon? Second, is it possible to make this cake a few days in advance and freeze it to keep moisture? Or how would you suggest keeping moisture? Third, I watched your video on stacking cakes and I wanted to know is it ok to ice your cake, add dowel rods then pop it in the freezer overnight or should the dowel rods be added after the cake has thawed? I wanted to check on this because I wasn't sure if adding dowel rods before freezing the cake would ruin it? The last question, is it ok to stack frozen cakes or do you have to wait till they are thawed?

[@krazykoolcakes]

HI Stephanie, Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoy our tutorials. First of all, I don't ever recommend freezing cakes. Freezing cakes doesn't "keep" moisture. It actually dries your cake. This is only a vanilla recipe. There's a lot of good strawberry and lemon recipes here on KZbin you can make. We usually bake no more than 3 days before delivery and we only refrigerate. Again, no need to freeze your cakes ok? :)

[@stephaniewade7894]

Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs Gotcha! Thank you so much! 😄

[@michelleb8792]

I love your tutorials! My question is, I've been making my own cake flour by substituting part of the AP flour with cornstarch. Will it be ok to substitute it with potato starch?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you so much! I've never doctored up flour like that so have no idea. Let me know if it works. :)

[@aishawilson7649]

Thanks for this video!! Do you let your cakes cool completely on a rack before wrapping them?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Alisha! Yes we certainly do. :)

[@sandyromasanta8734]

Hi. That white liquid, is it milk? I wanna try this one in fondant 😊

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi! The white liquid is half 'n half. You'll love this cake! You can find the complete recipe in the description box below the video. :) Thank you for watching!

[@sandyromasanta8734]

Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs thank you 😊

[@innopros8596]

Lovely tutorial. However we dont have potato starch here in my little island in the Caribbean...I know you say no substitute, but in my case, what can I substitute it with. Thanks in advance :-)

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Innocenta! I would highly recommend just ordering it online. There is no substitute. :)

[@vanessaandujar5875]

Hi! Could I substitute the vanilla for lemon extract?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Vanessa, Honestly I've never substituted extracts in this recipe so don't know how it would turn out. Let me know the results if you choose to experiment. Thanks for watching! :)

[@helengrant379]

Hi l am one of your subscriber do you take your cake out of the pan about 5min after bakeing while it is still hot

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Helen! Thank you once again for being a subscriber. :) We take the cakes out of the pans after they've assumed room temperature. It takes much much longer than 5 min. Just touch your cakes and if they feel cool, it's safe at that point to take them out. Hope that helps. :)

[@adeolaandrew-oyanna6544]

Thank you and God bless you for this. I have been waiting for this recipe all these years. I'm in Nigeria and I am not sure I can get the potato starch, is it something I can make? I found a recipe on how to make it. Although it was in a liquid state. Also, can I substitute the half and half with regular full cream milk? Half and half will be quite pricey and hard to get in Nigeria. I appreciate you both.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you so much Adeola! I hope you enjoy baking it and eating it! Potato starch is readily available. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding it. You definitely want it in powder form like in the video. I wouldn't recommend any substitutions of any kind. If you do, then you wont' be making this recipe. :)

[@emelineking1968]

Hello!! I love and appreciate all your tutorials. What software or app so you use for your video editing?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Emiline! Thank you so much! :) I use FinalCut Pro.

[@sharmilascakestudio4229]

Perfect

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you so much! :) I appreciate you watching.

[@sharmilashaik5879]

Hi, I like your videos and I became your new subscribers :) I have a doubt, is that possible to substitute potatoe starch with corn flour. If yes, what quantity and procedure to add. What will be the baking temperature for corn starch, please answer me I want to try this recepie

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Sharmila! As we said in the video, we don't recommend any substitutions at all. :)

[@zacdi333]

Can I use this recipe to mix with chocolate to make a marble cake ??

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi! Yes. That's exactly what we do. We marble this vanilla cake with our chocolate butter cake. It's delicious! Thanks for your question and for watching. :)

[@carissmass2897]

Hi. Is this recipe sturdy enough to stack for a tiered cake?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Allen! It's PERFECT for stacking a tiered cake. However, make sure you are still using the appropriate support inside the cake tiers.

[@carissmass2897]

Thank you so much. I love your tutorials.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Allen! :)

[@sandidesousa4986]

Hi there, what size pans do you use?? 3" deep, 2" deep, and what is your normal cake height?? do you use 3 cake pans for every cake??? thank you so much

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Sandi! We usually use 2" cakes pans. Once our cakes are torted, dammed and filled, the height is typically 5.5". Once iced it's closer to 6" in height. You're very welcome!

[@jsantos6932]

i would love to try these recipe. can i use them under fondant? thank youuu

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Joanne! This recipe is PERFECT for covering in fondant. Thank you for watching! :)

[@MsAmelia1957]

Hi this sponge looks amazing, everything you guys do always looks amazing, I love watching your videos. I was just wondering, I am going to make a wedding cake and it's an 11" and 3" deep round, please could you tell me how much ingredients I would need, I would so appreciate if you could, keep up the great work.....

[@krazykoolcakes]

HI Amelia! Thank you so much for watching our videos! Glad you like the look of this vanilla cake (not sponge), LOL. :) For just one 11" cake pan (3" deep round) I'd be safe making a double batch of this recipe. You may have some batter left. Hope that helps! :)
