Baking a cake is a simple and fun process that can be done in a few steps. Here’s a basic recipe to bake a cake:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The batter should be smooth, but don’t overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, you can frost and decorate it as desired. Enjoy your freshly baked cake!
