Vanilla Cake from Scratch
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a 9x9-inch baking dish and give it a light coating of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, followed by a dusting of flour for extra non-stick properties.
3
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and butter until they reach a smooth consistency.
4
Add eggs one at a time to the bowl, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate vanilla extract and almond extract into the mixture.
5
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until they form a uniform blend.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamy mixture, mixing until everything is well combined.
7
Milk should then be gently stirred into the batter to achieve a smooth consistency.
8
Pour or spoon the prepared batter into your 9x9-inch baking dish.
9
Time in the oven will depend on how springy the cake is when you touch it. Typically, this type of cake takes anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes to bake.
