This homemade vanilla cake recipe is another winner that you can keep in your recipe box should you ever want to use it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a store bought cake mix, especially if you can find the boxes on sale because who can say no to that? I love the store bought versions because they are pretty much altitude proof, meaning that by adding a few tablespoons of flour and changing the baking time you can have a perfect cake at most altitudes, which is something that is very hard to obtain with any homemade version.

However, homemade cake versions tend to be a bit firmer and that makes them easier to frost with almost any type of frosting. Plus, you can make them as sweet as you want. So, that’s why it’s always a good idea to keep a good homemade cake recipe handy.

This vanilla cake, as basic as it is, is pretty outstanding. It’s not too sweet and the level of vanilla flavor is just perfect, which goes extremely well with vanilla or chocolate buttercream. So, I hope you try it at home and please let me know how it turned out
