Bóymoder Vanilla Cake
Ingredients
- 280g flour (2⅓ cups)
- 2¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 170g butter (¾ cup)
- 333g sugar (1⅔ cups)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 240mL milk (1 cup)
- ¾ teaspoon salt (optional)
Preparations
- Preheat your oven to 175C (350F)
- Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper on the bottom, flour and butter on the sides
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the flour and baking powder (also the salt)
- Whisk so everything is well distributed
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer) add the butter (room temperature)
- Beat until creamy (with an electric or stand mixer, butter is tough to beat by hand)
- Add the sugar and beat until fluffy
- Beat the eggs one at a time, waiting for it to incorporate before adding the next one
- Add the vanilla extract and beat until the mixture is homogeneous
- While mixing on low (or by hand with a spatula if you were using an electric mixer before) add ⅓ of the flour and ⅓ of the milk, once it's almost incorporated, add another third, repeat until you added all the flour and milk
- Pour the batter into the pan
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes depending on the thickness of your cake (dependent on the baking pan you are using), once the cake starts pulling off the edges and a skewer inserted in the middle comes off clean, it is done
- Enjoy your boymoder vanilla cake :3
Notes
- Do not overbeat the mixture after the flour is added! If you develop the proteins on the flour, you're cake might fall after coming out of the oven
- If you used a stand mixer, scrape the bowl often to make sure you don't have unmixed flour or butter, that can ruin the cake!
- Measure the flour properly, adding more flour than intended might cause the cake to fall! (See: measuring flour)
- Your main flavoring is going to be the vanilla, use a good one!
- Be a good boymoder and crack the eggs in a separate bowl so no shells get into your precious cake!
