It took me months to perfect this VANILLA CAKE recipe! Soft fluffy vanilla cake

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/soft-van...
When I say this recipe took me MONTHS to perfect, I mean it! This vanilla cake has the most soft, tender, melt-in-your mouth crumb and is bursting with vanilla flavour. A great base recipe that can be paired with literally any type of frosting and filling!
HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/homemade...
INGREDIENTS:
For this recipe I would highly recommend using gram measurements, especially for the flour for accurate results. It has a high fat/liquid ratio so slight adjustments to the quantities can throw off the balance of the cake 🙂
Vanilla Cake
- 2¼ cups (300 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 if you want to use cake flour)
- ¼ cup (25 g) cornflour - also known as cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
- ½ cup (105 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
- 1⅔ cups (332 g) white granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs - room temperature
- 1¼ tbsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1½ cups (337 g) buttermilk - room temperature. See note 3 below if using a homemade buttermilk substitute.
Bake at 165 °C (329°F) with the fan on. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F).
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (see note 2 below)
- 1½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
- 3 cups (375 g) icing sugar - also known as powdered sugar/confectioners sugar
- 1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1½ tbsp milk - heavy or whipping cream okay too
Note 1. You can use cake flour in replacement of the all purpose flour and cornstarch in this recipe (325g total required).
Note 2. This frosting is an American buttercream so is a ‘sweeter’ frosting, although my recipe does use a lot less icing sugar compared to a regular American buttercream. However, if you still want an even less sweet frosting, I’d recommend a Swiss meringue or French buttercream.
Note 3. I use store bought buttermilk which is thicker than a homemade substitute. For this recipe, because it uses a lot of buttermilk, a homemade substitute doesn't give the same results. If you are using a homemade version you will need to reduce the amount of buttermilk to about 1 1/4 cups (275g).

I need you guys to understand that this recipe is absolutely incredible and I will not be using any other vanilla cake recipe. It was exactly what I wanted, not too much work, just so simple and not sweet. It made me literally think okay yeah- I’ve been sleeping on vanilla cake lol I made one change and that was the butter, I did not use butter so I simply added 1 cup of oil. WHY? Because I couldn’t be bothered to melt the butter lol it was in the freezer okay?? 😂 it was 9pm and I just wanted some cake okay? So I used one cup of oil BRILIIIANNNTTT 10/10. Do it. Make the cake

Hi MK, I have to tell you I made your vanilla cake right after watching your KZbin video, and it was AMAZING! I took that same cake recipe and made a coconut cake out of it. I used coconut milk and vinegar to make coconut buttermilk and added 1 Tbsp. vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon of coconut extract. For the icing, I used an Italian meringue with toasted coconut. THIS is my go to vanilla cake recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. By the way, I made your chocolate cake this morning and am waiting for the icing to set up. Can't wait.

[@christnaletang]

I've had this video saved for a while knowing that I wanted to make this one day. I finally got around to making this today! I added lime zest in my recipe for a vanilla lime cake instead: lime zest massaged with the sugar for the batter, and lime zest added in the buttercream for the icing. Also in the icing, I added some Disaronno (a liqueur) for a little bit of that spiked flavour without much alcohol. I was nervous when making it because some things didn't look exactly like yours in the video but I stuck the course and I am very impressed! Recipe was easy to follow and the cake was delicious and moist. Def adding to my recipe book!! Only thing is I kind of messed up my buttercream. It looked like it was separating. I know now to heat it up a little bit but I was too lazy at that point and left it as is 😂.Thanks for sharing 🥰

What's the shelf life of this cake without the cream?

[@rosemchaki8419]

From Tanzania....thank you so much 💕....

[@oluwakemitope9905]

Thanks. My daughter wants to start learning baking for this holiday and your recipe was the first we came across on youtube. We made it today and she loved it. A lil challenge was that we tried our homemade buttermilk as shown in your diy video but it didn't form cods like yours. Thanks for the free recipe share. Love your colours and styles

I've made a mosaic cake with this recipe without the frosting, it goes really well with a cup of coffee, thank you very much ❤

[@rushialeema8321]

Just baked this after a huge hit with Brownies. Made one big traybake vs layers in two pans. It was so hard to let it cool down before it started getting huge chunks eaten away :) Always a good sign.

[@CakesbyMK]

Awesome!! So so happy to hear you enjoyed it Rushi :D If you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you kindly leave a review on my blog, it really helps my content reach more people :D thanks so much again for trying the recipe :)

[@billchief397]

Excellent cake!! I’ve been looking for a good sponge cake recipe and this is it! I added cardamom to mine instead of vanilla and it’s such a nice flavour!

[@leighjones6514]

Looks delicious. I’m definitely going to give it a try. Your videos are awesome. Thank you for teaching me so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@TP-wn1sk]

I made this yesterday. I must say this is the best cake i have made till date. Your instructions are super easy to follow with the right amount of detail. Jazakallah Khairan. Can you please post a recipe of a sponge cake, preferably with a fresh cream frosting.

[@makitigano2502]

Can you please tell me the size of the cake tins did you use? Thank you.

[@SanaKhan-do5zf]

Made this cake for my daughter’s birthday and it came out perfect so moist and delicious thank you for your recipes and honesty it’s hard to find recipes that are true.

[@rejoicemanyame2551]

I made this cake recently had the best outcome it's soft and fluffy. The best ever!!!!

[@soggicc]

i made this cake to surprise my friend on his birthday yesterday , and I want to thank you because i have never made something this good , this cake literally melts in your mouth everyone liked it (i added 180g of sugar instead because i was scared it will come out too sweet) thank you again MK

[@jennifermartin6592]

Hello. I would also like to cut the sugar, especially since American buttercream is so sweet. If you were to bake this cake again would you continue to use 180g of sugar? Thank you.

[@soggicc]

i would yes , since me and my family dont like it too sweet , also all my friends loved it its very mild this way . @@jennifermartin6592

[@marylyn5965]

Thank you very very much. Your cake looks delicious! As much as I love chocolate it doesn't love me, so this is perfect. 💜

[@yusramalik9014]

I tried this cake in air fryer and it does work perfectly, my family loves the taste, thank u so much.

[@lm5203]

Made your cake recipe yesterday MK. Super easy and cakes came out exactly same height and perfect. I used 6" pans, so 1 hour bake time @ 180° celcius. They were so perfect I baked another 2 with same results. Great recipe for beginners.... Just follow recipe EXACTLY.

[@mariadiantherese9663]

This recipe is genius!! I can't wait to make this!
