It's so relaxing for me to bake a simple vanilla cake for tea time. And my family loves this cake, they love the simplicity of this cake the most. My family's most favorite cakes are this vanilla cake, my walnut cake and my carrot cake. If I give them a choice, then they keep choosing these three cakes over and over again!
This cake is so delicious, soft and moist. The buttermilk makes it extra soft and moist. If you're looking for a simple yet delicious cake then this is the one for you!

Notes
1. Here's a post on how to make buttermilk for cakes. This is how I make buttermilk for all my bakes.
2. You can add some chopped nuts or chocolate chips too.
3. I used granulated white sugar but powdered it after measuring to help dissolve easily.
Until next time,
our family favourite as well..looks super dear
ReplyDeleteYour cakes are always winners. This one do I have say more? No, no, not. another winner.
ReplyDeleteHi Beulah. This is Saloni here. I'm a huge fan of yours. My family and me, we totally love your recipes. Thanks a lot for so many wonderful, vegetarian recipes. I want to try this vanilla butter cake too. Can I have an eggless version of it? Thanks a ton in advance. Happy Diwali. And do keep churning such wonderful recipes. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteHi Saloni, thank you so much for writing in! Glad you like my recipes! I don't think it's a great idea to convert this recipe into eggless. You can replace one or two eggs but replacing 3 eggs might change the texture of the cake. I have already posted an egg free vanilla cake, you can try that recipe - http://www.fullscoops.net/2014/01/eggless-vanilla-cake.html
DeleteCan I bake this in square baking pan...and can I add only 2 eggs in this recipe..
