Easy Yellow Cake

Hi All,

This is a wonderfully easy yellow cake. It does call for cake flour. It makes two 8-inch round cakes, so it's a perfect size for a few people.

Preheat oven to 350.

1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened
1 cup sugar

Mix butter and sugar in a mixer at low speed until blended. Increase speed to high and beat for 5 minutes until light and fluffy.

1 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoons salt
2 eggs

Add the above ingredients. Mix on low to combine, scraping bowl as needed. When well-combined beat for 2 minutes on high.

Prepare two 8 inch round pans by cutting out waxed paper or parchment shapes to fit bottom. Grease and flour. Bake for 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.

I think you can also turn these into cupcakes. A standard recipe with 2 cups of flour will make 24 cupcakes. I think that with 1 1/2 cups of flour this should make about 18 cupcakes.

Hope this recipe comes out perfectly for you too!

Hugs,
