How To Make Recipe Cake
Ingredients
Making a delicious recipe cake is easier than you think. You'll need the following ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature, 1 ½ cups sugar, 4 large eggs at room temperature, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or cooking spray, then line the bottom with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
Add the dry ingredients in two batches, alternating with the sour cream or yogurt. Beat until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving and Storing
To serve the cake, dust with confectioners' sugar or top with a simple glaze. You can also serve it with fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream. The cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
