Step-by-Step Instructions for Recipes cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.

    Tip: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to ensure even cooking.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

    Tip: Use an electric mixer for efficiency and a smoother result.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    Tip: Room temperature eggs incorporate more easily, ensuring a smooth batter.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

    Tip: Whisking dry ingredients prevents clumps and ensures even distribution.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.

    Tip: Mix on low speed to avoid overmixing, which can make the cake dense.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

    Tip: Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles for an even surface.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    Tip: Cooling the cake completely ensures easier frosting application.

Pro Tips & Notes for Recipes cake

Storage & Reheating for Recipes cake

Storage: Store your recipes cake at room temperature for up to two days in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. For longer storage, refrigerate the cake for up to a week; ensure it's well-wrapped to prevent drying out. If you need to freeze the cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, let the cake thaw at room temperature for several hours or overnight in the fridge. For best results, warm slices in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes to restore their soft texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the cake chewy.
