How do i get a light fluffy cake??? It seems that just about every recipe I try comes out dense and heavy. I am desperately looking for a recipe that will result in a light fluffy white cake? Anyone have something to share?

This is the cake I use all the time. It is not a pure white cake since it uses whole eggs, but due to the beating of the eggs and sugar, the final batter is just slightly off white....and the flavor is well worth it! Try it an let me know what you think.
VANILLA CAKE
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups sugar [use only 1 3/4 cups if you like a less sweet cake]
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
1 stick butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat the oven to 325 ºF.
Line three 7"/two 8" layer cake pans or one 9 x13 sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper, then grease and flour pans; set aside.
Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan or microwave safe bowl and heat until milk is hot and butter melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
Sift together flour and baking powder; set aside.
Beat eggs and sugar on high speed for 5 minutes, scraping bowl occassionaly.
Beat in vanilla.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture all at once, and mix on low speed, scraping bowl constantly until flour is blended in.
Add the milk and butter mixture, scraping bowl until batter is smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake until cakes test done, about 20-30 minutes.
Cool 5 to 10 minutes, remove from pans and wrap completely in plastic wrap until ready to use.
Thanks - I'm going to give it a try. Can you tell me if you use whole milk?

Yes....I've also used coconut milk too to make a coconut cake....add a teaspoon coconut extract too!
I would say just go for a white cake mix and go by the directions ,, plus maybe add about a half a box of french vanilla pudding or vanilla pudding . This makes a white fluffy cake ,, but if you go scratch and you try the vanilla cake it'll be moist and yummy but not fluffy due to the whole eggs and all purpase flour { APL } You should at least use egg whites only and cake floue ,,, b/c that recipe will be moist and more on the dense side .
I've been looking for the same thing! Jeff - can your recipe be doubled for larger pans?

Yes...even tripled or quadrupled if you have a large mixer.
I tried Jeff's recipe and it is really moist, light, and tasty! I used it for my friend's daughter's 18th birthday and everyone luv it! Pls see picture in my photo gallery. This is going to be my Go To cake recipe from now on. Thanks Jeff!!!
