It is wonderful. I tried it with nutella filling and vanilla hazelnut buttercream and it was wonderful. Here is the recipe.. Enjoy



Vanilla Butter Cake from The Mermaid Bakery

Serves/Yields: 6 cups of batter
Prep. Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20-22 min
Category: Bundt Cakes, Cupcakes, Yellow Cakes, Amish/Mennonite
Difficulty: Easy


This is a scratch cake recipe that makes a cake comparable to the texture and taste of a box mix....only better. It makes a tender crumb that, when cool, carves easily, and stacks well. It's versatile too. I use it for my rum cakes, substituting 1/2 cup of rum for half of the milk, bake in a bundt pan, and then brush with a sugar/rum syrup.

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 Tbls white vinegar + enough milk to make 1 cup, at room temperature
1 tsp Creme Bouqet or 1 tsp Vanilla
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, put oven rack into center of oven.
Grease and flour pans (9X13, 3=8", 2=9", or 1=10")
Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix the Creme Bouqet or Vanilla into the milk. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl. Add flour to butter/sugar/eggs in two parts, alternating with the milk mixture, beating well after each addition. Divide batter into prepared pans. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.

Wow icon_biggrin.gif ! What a great way to start my day! I've been working a lot and I haven't been on CC for several days, then this morning I log in and right there on the main page is this thread. Thanks for all the compliments. I started with a cookbook recipe and then just kept tweaking it until I got it the way I wanted. The original was not as tender and moist, or flavorful.

Thanks again. It was really nice to see this and to read your compliments.

The 1 T of white vinegar and milk, isn't that the same as using a cup of buttermilk?

Yes, it is. I just find it easier to use vinegar and milk, two things that I always have in the kitchen rather than buying buttermilk and trying to use it all before it expires.

Does using bleached flour effect the recipe?

I don't know the answer to this question, since the only flour I can get is unbleached. Maybe someone else has experience with bleached flour?
