Kitchenaid White Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Making a delicious white cake is easier than you think when you use a KitchenAid mixer. The ingredients you'll need for this recipe are:
3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, ¾ cup butter, 1½ cups granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1¼ cups buttermilk.
Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans. Grease the pans with butter and flour them, then set aside. Begin by sifting the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. In the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Now, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat until just combined after each addition. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decoration
Once the cake is cooled, it's time to decorate. You can top the cake with a simple dusting of powdered sugar or get creative with a buttercream frosting. To make a buttercream frosting, cream together ¾ cup butter and 2 ½ cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gradually add in 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached. Spread the frosting on the cooled cake and enjoy.
Variations
This recipe is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to make different variations. Try adding in ½ cup of cocoa powder for a delicious chocolate cake. Or, for a lemon cake, add in the zest of one lemon and a few tablespoons of lemon juice to the batter. You can also add in ½ cup of blueberries or ½ cup of shredded coconut to the batter for a delicious twist.
Serving
This white cake is best served fresh, but it can also be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. If you have any leftover cake, it can be frozen for up to one month. Allow the cake to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Tips and Tricks
For the best results, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This helps the ingredients mix together more easily and prevents over-mixing. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to cream together with the sugar. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go, to ensure all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Finally, be sure to let the cakes cool completely before frosting or serving, as this ensures the cake will hold its shape.
Conclusion
A KitchenAid mixer is a great tool to have in the kitchen, especially when making cakes. This white cake recipe is simple and adaptable, so you can make it your own. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious white cake that is sure to be a hit. Enjoy!
