Here’s a ridiculously easy and delicious cake recipe that you can make in no time!
One-Bowl Vanilla Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Add Boiling Water: Gradually pour in the boiling water, mixing gently. The batter will be thin, but that’s exactly how it should be.
- Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. You can dust with powdered sugar, add frosting, or just enjoy as is.
