Simple, timeless, and beautifully versatile, this Vanilla Cake & Cupcake recipe is the foundation every baker needs.
Soft, fluffy, and perfectly moist, this cake delivers rich vanilla flavor with a tender crumb and reliable structure. It’s light enough for everyday celebrations yet sturdy enough for layered cakes, custom orders, and bakery menus.
Paired with my Classic Buttercream Frosting, this combination is smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The buttercream pipes beautifully, holds its shape for swirls and borders, and creates that clean, bakery-style finish while still tasting light and delicious.
Thoughtfully developed and tested for consistent results, this recipe gives you dependable rise, even crumb, and a professional-quality texture whether you are baking cupcakes or full-sized cakes.
