Does anyone have a cake recipe they always go to for birthdays etc. A delicious one that holds up well (isn't crumbly and falls apart when iced) chocolate and/or vanilla recipe!
VANILLA CAKE
•2 c. sugar
•4 lg. eggs
•2 ½ c. flour
•1 c. milk
•1 tsp. vanilla
•2 ¼ tsp baking powder
•¾ c. oil
•1 ½ sticks butter
•1 c. brown sugar
•1 c. sugar
•3 lg. eggs
•1 tsp. vanilla
•1 tsp. coffee
•1½ tsp. baking soda
•1 c. cocoa
•2 c. flour
•1½ c. buttermilk
•1 chocolate pudding
DIRECTIONS
Add each ingredient in the same order as listed
Bake on 350F
Chill before icing
*if you look at my pictures, most of them say if they are chocolate or vanilla...so you can see that they hold up well! Good luck!
*for the chocolate cake it should say margarine not butter, you could use butter but I like margarine better lol
Just to clarify, you just put all the ingredients in the mixer and just mix them at the same time? Seems way too easy!!
LOL Sorry! Maybe one day I will try the dump and mix method but for now use what is listed below
Vanilla:
Blend the eggs and sugar, one egg at a time
Alternate adding the flour and milk, starting and ending with the flour. *ex. add 1/2c flour, then add 1/2 c of milk, then flour and so on.
Add the last three ingredients one at a time.
Chocolate:
Blend the butter or margarine with the sugars
Add eggs, one at a time
Add vanilla, coffee, baking soda, cocoa (one at a time of course lol)
Alternate adding the flour and buttermilk, start with buttermilk, end with flour (as stated above)
Add 1 packet of instant chocolate pudding
**If you have a stand mixer just let the mixer run on low, after adding everything, just use a spoon and make sure everything is combined. If you have a hand mixer mix after each ingredient is added. Be sure there are NO DRY PATCHES stuck to the bowl.
Fyi, I use spray butter and flour to coat my pans so the cakes won't stick. But be sure to coat the chocolate cake pan REALLY WELL especially with the flour, that cake is very moist and sometimes has a tendency to stay in the pan, or you could use parchment paper for the chocolate, up to you. Don't forget to chill the cakes before icing.
Oh ok makes a lot more sense!! I'm excited to try the recipe! I use a bakers spray to coat my pans and it works like a charm every time. Sometimes flour can be a hassle so I prefer sprays
Nice! I use baker's joy as well, but I know some people aren't able to get it where they live. Good luck, let me know how it turns out!
