This homemade vanilla cake recipe isn’t short on vanilla flavor! There’s a tablespoon of vanilla extract in the cake itself and in the vanilla buttercream frosting. This is the perfect cake for any occasion! <\/em><\/p>\n

There’s something so special about a classic vanilla cake. Although I love indulging in a slice of ultra rich double chocolate cake now and again, I find vanilla desserts to be more versatile. <\/p>\n

Take this simple vanilla cake recipe, for example. It can be served as is, or you can add seasonal sprinkles on top to suit any holiday. You could even add a few drops of food coloring to the vanilla buttercream to match the occasion. <\/p>\n

But don’t you go thinking I’d ever share a boring vanilla cake recipe with you all! Oh no, this cake is packed<\/em> with pure vanilla flavor.<\/p>\n

Both the cake batter and the frosting are flavored with vanilla extract. I also used a combination of cake flour and buttermilk in the batter to create fluffy but moist cake layers. This is a vanilla cake you’ll never get bored of, promise. <\/p>\n
