The Perfect Vanilla Cake

A classic vanilla cake is the perfect dessert to impress your family and friends. The BBC Good Food has an easy and delicious recipe that will result in a moist and fluffy cake that everyone will love. This recipe requires butter, eggs, self-raising flour, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. The recipe can be adjusted to make cupcakes or a single layer cake.

To begin, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tin with baking parchment. Then, begin creaming the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Sift the flour into the mixture and fold it in gently. Add the vanilla extract and combine until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Finally, pour the batter into the tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Once the cake has finished baking, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool before removing it from the tin. Dust with icing sugar and serve with a dollop of cream or custard. Enjoy!
