The Most AMAZING Vanilla Cake Recipe

Made from scratch with only a handful of ingredients, this Vanilla Cake Recipe is the perfect dessert for any occasion. Far from boring, this classic cake is flavorful and has a tender and moist crumb. It’s so light, fluffy, and easy to make that you’ll never go back to box mix!
RECIPE: preppykitchen.com/1448-2/
Whether you are making a cake for a birthday party, wedding, or just a general get-together, it is hard to go wrong with this traditional vanilla cake recipe. I think this the best vanilla cake recipe out there as it has a buttery and perfectly even crumb that holds up well on its own but will practically melt in your mouth when you take a bite. I've updated my vanilla cake recipe for an even more tender crumb and foolproof bake no matter what climate or season you're in!

I have watched this video like 15 times in the past week because I wanted to make this for my sister's birthday and i wanted to get it right. Even though i had memorized the recipe, i still played the video and baked it along with John lol... And the end result was amazing!! I'm 17 and I just got into baking but I've never made a cake before. I even used a 13x9 inch glass baking dish/pan because i didnt have cake rounds. I am so proud of myself. Thank you, John!

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.Years ago,I used to love cooking but over the years,it became a disliked chore.My second oldest daughter discovered she loved cooking when she was 13. She got a job at a local dairy queen last year and had many,many compliments from customers saying she cooked the chicken to perfection.She was working second shift,after school and was saving for college. She had turned 18 a few weeks before December. Early last December,she was driving home after work late one night. Less than 4 minutes from home,she wrecked and died.I still don't know what caused it. I got an alert for this video and decided on a whim to watch it,I haven't been watching many things since December. I found myself smiling and even laughing.Your sunny disposition and cheeriness while making your videos has brightened my day.My youngest who is 9,sat down and watched some of your cooking videos with me. For the first time in months,I got excited about trying something- cooking again.And watching more of your cooking videos. So thank you for giving me light at the end of a dark tunnel and something to look forward to doing again.Keep up the great work!❤️

This is the absolutely the best vanilla cake and buttercream you will ever taste! I made this as a sheet cake (13x9). It took about 5 minutes longer to bake. I made a little less frosting than the recipe - using only 1 cup of butter and roughly 4 cups of powdered sugar. This was not the overly sweet buttercream most of us are used to. This is much softer and melts in your mouth. FANTABULOUS!

The crumb is beautiful and tender, so much so that I didn't have to cut it to be sure, you can feel it by just touching the surface.

I never comment on videos unless I actually try a recipe and I gotta say, I had a HARD time deciding on a vanilla cake recipe to try on youtube and I finally decided to try this one. I am not disappointed at all and won't even try any other recipes because THIS is the only one that matters.

Tried this recipe but as cupcakes. Impressed with the texture and taste. The advice/directions were spot on
