2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon table salt 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 cups caster sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 large eggs, at room temperature 1 cup whole milk Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of each cake pan with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside. Cream Butter, Sugar & Vanilla: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add Eggs to Sugar Mixture: Add the eggs, two at a time, beating until each addition is incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula when necessary. Add Dry & Wet Ingredients: Add the flour mixture in four parts, alternating with the milk in three parts, beating just until each addition is incorporated before adding the next; do not overmix. Bake Cake: Scrape the batter into the prepared pan or pans and spread it so that it is smooth in the pan(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes for the 9 x 13-inch pan or 45 minutes for the 8-inch pans, rotating the pan(s) halfway through. Cool Cake: Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely in the pan(s). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Loosen the edges with a straight spatula, invert the pan(s) to remove the cake, and peel off the parchment.

For the people who want the recipe in grams 226 grams of unsalted butter. 400 grams of granulated white sugar. 5 ml of vanilla extract 4 eggs 240 ml of whole milk 375 g of flour (all purpose) 6 grams of salt (About) 7 grams of baking powder I converted the measurements from the recipe she has on her website 😁🙃

i baked a small batch (1/6 of the recipe, using just one egg) and it was perfect. very simple to make, with a hand held electric mixer, baking it on a 5 inches round pan, for 30min. hands down the best vanilla cake recipe i've ever tried.

I made it today and it was the bomb!!!!!! I have been sick for the past few days and cant really taste anything but the batter it self is good Lol. I couldn't line the pan with parchment paper because I didn't have any, so I greased it really good. I used the 4lb recipe and used two 10'' x 2 1/2'' Spring cake pans (I split the batter). I let them cool down a little, I wasn't really worried about it falling apart all I was doing was tasting it lol. IT WAS SO GOOD AND OMG SUPER MOIST AND FLUFFY!!!!!(even though I couldn't really taste it because of my sickness), but everyone else said that was the recipe I need to stick to for now on. So long story short next time use parchment paper and its perfect. Grade - HEAVEN 10/10

so ive attempted baking cakes a few times in my life but theyve always failed. but it was my brothers 18th birthday party yesterday and we were on a reallllllly tight budget but had about 100 people attended so i decided to binge watch all of yolandas videos for the millionth time and tried my hand at making a two tier cake. i used her vanilla cake recipe as well as her chocolate cake recipe and ohhhhh my goshhhhhhh i've never been happier. all 100 people loved the cake and said it was the most delicious and moist cake they've ever had... which is saying something because i made the cakes 3 days prior to the party and i wasnt sure if the simple syrup would be enough to keep it moist but it was. so if anyone is hesitant about making this cake.. dont be! its pretty much fail safe if you follow the recipe correctly and it tastes incredible. also yolandas chocolate cake was on a whole other level. 1000/10. ** side note... i used an electric hand mixer as i dont have a stand mixer. it was a lot more work and my arm was totally dead afterwards, but the cakes still came out perfect.

Who's watching 2020 bc of quarantine

Apart from the fact that your cake looks delightful...you have an amazing personalility. You just gained a subscriber.👍

Its been 3 years Yo. Still waiting for that purfume.

Omg I've watched this video so many times, and it's never boring 😊😉 I love Yo so much and she gives such good tips, tricks, and recipes. She's the reason I started baking, and the reason I've gotten so good at it. The part of the video where she says 'for some reason this is making me SO happy!' my heart just warms because I know exactly how she feels.

Make this cake !! You won’t be sorry ! The best recipe EVER. so easy to follow. Make sure you don’t cheat on any of the ingredients and you will get that beautiful cake you want. I made double this recipe for a birthday cake and it was a huge hit ! Thank you Yolanda for this recipe. A life saver 👌

Guys I tried this cake with strawberry whipped cream filling and frosting and it was amazingggggg. The cake is so yummy and it smells soooo good. If you are a fan of vanilla you should definitely give it a try! I often bake cakes and this cake is the best one so far

when she said you know what time it is i said its time to spin the wheel of mythicality

Yolanda your laugh is EVERYTHING

Jocelyn is sooo Funny. She really gets my BEST laugh out even though she isn't in the camera. Just hearing her laugh and seeing what she does behind the camera in secret lime sneeking the scrap cake batter off the bowl in this video was HILARIOUS. Ms. Yolanda you're also my FAVORITE. Watching you do something that you love the most is really great to see because this is also something that i really enjoy. i am going to get all these supplies and material to try and make good, smooth and make simple syrup to keep my cskes moist. You are a great inspiration on me because you bake and i bake. We both do something we love the most. A special gift from God.

i love how much of a perfectionist she is her cakes always look amazing!

My daughter has started watching your videos with me. And last night we baked this vanilla sponge cake for her 5th birthday. She was so happy to see the cake this morning on her birthday. We used dairy free margerine and rice milk to accommodate her little brother who has a milk allergy. It was still so moist and delicious. Thanks for a great recipe. Looking forward to trying more in future.

Best vanilla cake recipe ever. You never disappoint. Have made this recipe over 10 times for countless occasions. I just keep the butter in the cake a little bit softer so the cake isn’t has hard since I won’t be stacking as much layers. Thank you!

I would love a compilation of Yolanda's laugh it ALWAYS makes me smile!! Pretty girls always have the silliest laughs 😂😂❤️❤️

Thank you for the recipe. I made my cake using this recipe and it turned out great. The ingredients were enough to make two cakes on 20cm tins. I dont do a lot of baking. But following ur recipe was easy.

My first cake made from scratch. Nailed it! Thank you Yolanda!

I made this vanilla cake and it was a hit. Everyone rwally liked it :). Thank you for posting the recipe

I tried the recipe! It taste so good! I think pure vanilla extract will make a huge difference. Room temperature butter is a must. I love it thank you.

13:53 It's time to spin the wheel of mythicality!

Yolanda is the first baker that i have seen who does not grease the cake pan.

Who’s here in quarantine wishing they made this for Father’s Day??😂😭

So I just finished baking this, and it came out so perfect ! I followed the recipe to the t, I did cut it in half just to practice, and it is so light and fluffy, it baked evenly and it is sweet but I’m adding strawberries to mine so I think it will balance out. Thank you so much for this recipe ! Xoxo

I love Yolanda's laugh it's so funny! I love her so much! I wish I was as good as her at baking :(

I'm so glad you mentioned Ann Reardon! Without her I would have never fallen in love with watching these types of videos. She was using acetate a long time ago haha. You both have inspired me to try to make a nice looking cake for my son's 2nd birthday and also a smash cake for my daughter's 1st birthday. You make it look so easy but my past baking experiences have not been great. I'm hopeful that with your tips and tricks it'll go well. You rock, Yo!

You should make an episode when Jocelyn and whoever else is behind the camera use all of the skills they learnt from you and make a cake! I think that would be hilarious!

2:13 omg her laugh😂💓

I'd love to see the lady who's laughing in every video 😂😁

That recipe is seriously gorgeous! It never fails!

I just made 1/3 batch of the 4lb quantity and it is perfect for 11 big cupcakes. I wish I had left a tiny bit more batter to lick the bowl!! So delicious, the only cake recipe I will use from now on. Thank you, Yolanda!!!

I really love baking and I did this recipe along with the buttercream and fondant and I must say, it was SOMETHING ELSE. Just perfect! Although with a hand mixer it might be a little tough because of how thick the batter is, but that’s all I had.

You should make a crocs cake 😅😅

What a beautiful cake. You are a true expert..I learned a lot from this video. And it was fun to watch. Thankyou.

I made this cake and it come out absolutely perfect like yours!! I made it with cream cheese frosting and it tasted sooo delicious!

I just tried this recipe and It was surprisingly moist and fluffy I thought it would be really dense because that’s how it looks in the video, so it was a nice surprise, I will be using the buttercream and simple syrup so it can taste just like Yolanda’s!

I made this recipe and it tastes AMAZING

This is my go-to recipe since I began baking for clients. I love it and THANK YOU Yolanda! I’ve used this as a basic recipe and modified to create other flavors. I’m wondering if I can make a white cake from this basic recipe? Just minus the yolks?

did the cake taste nice

That moment when the number of likes is more than the number of views

Your tips are very helpful for me. And i just loved how you say that baking is a science it should have a right measurements

Yolanda's laugh is so adorable😍

Is the pretty pencil critical, or will a regular old yellow #2 work?

Your videos make me feel like maybe life is worth living.

I made this recipe for my sons birthday and everyone loved it! It was really easy and delicious!! I’ve been looking for a perfect vanilla cake recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing 🎂❤️

Who came back from the future and got disappointed when Yolanda said this simple syrup bottle instead of Sir. Squeeze? 😂😂

hahaha don't be ashamed of your crocs Yo! They could be the most unflattering shoes, but they're so freakin comfortable. Mine are orange ;)

I wonder if it's cold enough in Canada now for Yo to chill her cakes outside 😂😂😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🍰❄️❄️
