THE BEST WHITE CAKE RECIPE

That is the pleasant white cake recipe you’ll ever bake! each slice is moist, fluffy, and so delicious. This smooth snow-white cake is made absolutely from scratch and with easy ingredients!

And that’s it! I do no longer use vanilla in my white cake recipe, however in case you’d like, you could upload a dash. just be aware that except you’re the usage of a clear coloured vanilla extract, it may modify the shade of your white cake. So if the natural white coloration is critical to you bypass it or purchase a clear kind of vanilla.

You’ll also want cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and cream to make the frosting I used. however like I cited in advance, you could pair this cake with any frosting you want! So don’t sense like you have to stick with cream cheese.
