The Most AMAZING Vanilla Cake Recipe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Made from scratch with only a handful of ingredients, this Vanilla Cake Recipe is the perfect dessert for any occasion. Far from boring, this classic cake is flavorful and has a tender and moist crumb. It’s so light, fluffy, and easy to make that you’ll never go back to box mix!
RECIPE: preppykitchen....
Whether you are making a cake for a birthday party, wedding, or just a general get-together, it is hard to go wrong with this traditional vanilla cake recipe. I think this the best vanilla cake recipe out there as it has a buttery and perfectly even crumb that holds up well on its own but will practically melt in your mouth when you take a bite. I've updated my vanilla cake recipe for an even more tender crumb and foolproof bake no matter what climate or season you're in!

Thanks for this couldn't find this on the website
Thanks needed this !
Is it possible to use milk instead of buttermilk
Ever since I started decorating cakes, I've been making this cake recipe and its absolutely perfect. The cake is moist and soft and so delicious 😋. I'm only 14 but I've been baking by myself since 10 and this is by far the best cake recipe I've made.
I’m 14 too! Could you give me any tips for decorating and baking the cake? Thanks!
Zal…stop being a creep…seriously doubt if you’re 14 too.
Great job!! I wanna try this recipe too how does the cake hold up in the fridge? I wanna try it too
@@StephenB-iy7pr what.. not sure if you’re joking
@@zal2swag4uI’m dead😂
I seriously wanna consider living in your kitchen. I mean, almost had a heartattack at the site of your 'sprinkles drawer' 😂
When he said let's go to my sprinkle drawer.. I was like wait what? When he pulled the drawer open I actually jump back like woah!!😳😮😱😂🤣😂❤️🙂 I was like all these years even he lived in California he didn't have a sprinkle drawer. 😂
same XD...
It's the oven for me! My oven is like a quarter of the size, and a single oven at that 😄 Oven goals! Plus plates, pans, the decor in general...🤩
My face was just like 😱😱😱 when i saw it
I will move there and keep it clean too. Just for the sweets. 😄
I can honestly say that this is the BEST vanilla cake I have EVER tasted in my life! Made this for the first time today as a tester for a family wedding cake that I’m making in December. Safe to say it was a massive hit! Can’t wait to make it again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💛💛
I tried this recipe 2 times, but both times it cracked and broken totally. How do I figure out what's wrong I'm doing to make this cake? Thanks in advance.
@@shanta739 i made this once already & i didn’t have this problem one thing it could cause that is you might be over mixing it ??
no problem
@@shanta739did you add a circle of parchment paper on the bottom of your pan?
Yes I did
The kid at the end was sooo cute i wanna give him a hug
Their two sons are so cute! 👍 xoxo
@@bearpawz_ is he divorced or gay? I never hear mention of a “wife”
@@neitherlink6612 he mentions his husband all the time, including in this video... the cake is for his husband's mom's birthday
@@neitherlink6612 priceless comment. Like I guess he should be saying things like “what would my wife think of this cake” or “would the wife prefer vanilla or chocolate?”
@@egyptiansushi truth be told I haven’t seen every single one of his videos, but after watching like...15 (?) I didn’t hear any of his partner, so I was wondering, thank you for answering!
Honestly I really like how well you describe things. I’m blind so sometimes following cooking videos on RUclips is quite a challenge. Thank you for your wonderful recipes and descriptions
Anna Olson has added described videos for the visually challenged on her channel. You should check it out. It’s called “ Oh Yum with Anna Olson”. Love your channel too John. 🥂
I hadn’t even thought! I hope more videos are made with more verbal details!
@@sindhusekar1 i was so confused once when i was watching her video i thought someone hacked into my phone lmfao but then the realisation hit me nd i went OH SHIT
@padmini
ruclips.net/video/_CaG8X8Ub3s/видео.html
I have watched this video like 15 times in the past week because I wanted to make this for my sister's birthday and i wanted to get it right. Even though i had memorized the recipe, i still played the video and baked it along with John lol... And the end result was amazing!! I'm 17 and I just got into baking but I've never made a cake before. I even used a 13x9 inch glass baking dish/pan because i didnt have cake rounds. I am so proud of myself. Thank you, John! My confidence has skyrocketed. Time to try other recipes on this channel:-)
Omg same! My sister’s birthday is tomorrow.
@@KimmyXollins Happy birthday to her! Are you trying the recipe for her?
@@mercyihebuzor7220 yes I am it came out so well!
@@KimmyXollins I was surprised when I made mine as well. I still have some in the freezer cause I want to savour every last bit of it since the next birthday in my house is not until next month lol
Awww that sounds amazing. Did you have any left overs how did they hold up in the fridge? All my cakes firm up in the fridge
Finding this channel is the worst thing that has ever happened to my diet plans, thank you.
Hey, don't be using those dirty four letter words like "diet"! 😉😄
When he posted the bread pudding 3 days after New Years, i knew i had lost the battle...lol
@@Nails_By_Kimberlee Yeah life style change is so much better...I have lost 22lbs on my new Iife style change. You can lose weight slowly if you count calories. Just a slight calorie deficit and count in the stuff you love to eat! You will have bad days where you eat too much but don't give up!💜
Lmaoo samee
🤣
I love your focus on the details and how you constantly tell us what bad things would happen if we did it differently.
Can we just appreciate the kitchen for a second? I love your kitchen and I love your channel. Thank u for your brilliant recipes 🤗
You’re so sweet! Thank you!!

As someone who struggles with cake making this is the BEST my cake has ever came out. If you follow the instructions exactly you cant go wrong 🎂❤️
Hi! Did you follow the cups measurement or the grams? The recipe is 2 1/2 cups Flour (280g). Did you follow 2 1/2 cups or 280g?
@@riswanhans_gt1546 I'm late to this comment but you should always follow grams for dry ingredients!
He never misses 🫶
Hi, did you use the buttermilk or any alternatives?
ELLA@@riswanhans_gt1546
Your sprinkle drawer is EVERYTHING!
I tried out this recipe today, because my mom was craving vanilla cake. AND OH BOY MUST I SAY THAT IT WAS FANTASTICALLY FLUFFY AND IT TASTED PHENOMENAL!
Hi thanx for your comment ,do you think this will work for barbie cake ,its my daughter birthday and I wanna make a vanilla cake
@@veirap1571 Yes! Would only advise you to measure your flour with a kitchenscale to get the perfect results. ❤👍
@@veirap1571 Happy birthday to your daughter! 🥳
@@timothrykrasnapolsky Thank you! WOW !! You are amazing for coming back to me appreciate it very much,I hope my cake will not be a disaster lol
@@veirap1571 no thanks! 😊 good luck and fingers crossed LMK how it turned out!❤
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.Years ago,I used to love cooking but over the years,it became a disliked chore.My second oldest daughter discovered she loved cooking when she was 13. She got a job at a local dairy queen last year and had many,many compliments from customers saying she cooked the chicken to perfection.She was working second shift,after school and was saving for college. She had turned 18 a few weeks before December. Early last December,she was driving home after work late one night. Less than 4 minutes from home,she wrecked and died.I still don't know what caused it. I got an alert for this video and decided on a whim to watch it,I haven't been watching many things since December. I found myself smiling and even laughing.Your sunny disposition and cheeriness while making your videos has brightened my day.My youngest who is 9,sat down and watched some of your cooking videos with me. For the first time in months,I got excited about trying something- cooking again.And watching more of your cooking videos. So thank you for giving me light at the end of a dark tunnel and something to look forward to doing again.Keep up the great work!❤️
@C Anderson, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter. I can’t imagine your heartache. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Really sorry for your loss. Stay strong
🥰🙏🏼🙌🏽
Sorry for your loss my friend, sending hugs to you and your family 🥰
Just said a prayer for you.
Here it is written out! :) (I wrote this it isn’t copied + pasted)
2 1/2 cups- flour (put in a bowl)
3/4 tsp- salt (add in)
2 1/4 tsp- baking power (add in)
3/4 cup- butter (beat till fluffy in a separate bowl)
1 2/3 cup- sugar (add into butter mixture)
3- eggs (add into butter and sugar mixture, one at a time)
1 tbsp- vanilla (add into the mixture above)
*combine the two mixtures adding 1 cup of the flour, salt and baking power mixture into the wet mixture (try and make everything room temp)*
1 cup- buttermilk (add into the wet mixture as you are combining everything) *I used regular milk as I didn’t have buttermilk*
*measure and pour into your tins that you are going to cook in* *If you are using two tins, there should be about 600g in each*
*cook at 350 for 30 mins*
Just in case you can’t sit through the whole video! Hope this helps! :)
tysm 👍👍
Plz tell, is it really yummy 🥺🥺
Wow thanks dear ❤
Thanks!
thank u
Who else had their eyes wide when they saw his "sprinkles drawer" like a whole drawer of sprinkles🙆🏻♂️🤤😂
And the music in the background when he opened the drawer! Simply magical! 🦄
Shhh, don't tell Moriah Elizabeth! She'll want one too! 😁
I actually whispered "ohhh sprinkle drawer" to myself with eyes wide open LOL
a special kind of collection items
I did
This cake is seriously amazing definitely my new go to vanilla cake recipe! I decorated with whipped cream cheese frosting and strawberries and made it for a family event and everyone loved it! Thank you for the great recipes! :)
I wasn't prepared for all the cuteness at the end. He is adorable.
Made this recipe today with my 4 yr old and OMG!!! BEST ever!!! Instead of a cake though I turned them into cupcakes but DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! I'm sooo glad I found your channel!!! I love watching your videos and how you give out helpful tips so your viewers can do their best at baking!
Always eyeing that AMAZING stove! And all the copper! :)
Ikr
Ok
This really is the most Amazing vanilla cake recipe. I followed your recipe & the cake turned out super moist and so delicious, I can't stop eating it!!! Viewers of the preppy kitchen might resonate, how your recipes create a sense of connection, despite the thousand miles. You're amazing ❤️❤️❤️
The butter he used, was it unsalted? Or regular butter?
@@erikacervantes4489 unsalted.
I just tried the vanilla cake.. It was pillowy soft & tasted like heaven! The best vanilla cake recipe ever! Yes the cake strip made a ton of a difference..! Thank you John.. Love your recipes...!
The recipe was just perfect for me too. I am grateful
I made this cake yesterday and it's unbelievable how tasty it is. Thank you for sharing your recipe. You are awesome
My goal is to have this recipe memorized and have it feel like second nature when making. This was THEE BEST vanilla cake I ever made.
A seasoned baker for about 40 years and this by far is the best vanilla cake I have ever made! Was a little worried about leaving the batter somewhat lumpy but it was spot on. Thank you for another perfect recipe :)
“Happy birthday grandma “ ok heart melted ❤️❤️✨
This is the absolutely the best vanilla cake and buttercream you will ever taste! I made this as a sheet cake (13x9). It took about 5 minutes longer to bake. I made a little less frosting than the recipe - using only 1 cup of butter and roughly 4 cups of powdered sugar. This was not the overly sweet buttercream most of us are used to. This is much softer and melts in your mouth. FANTABULOUS!
I appreciate how well you explain things. Someone has finally told me WHY I must only add in one egg at a time, etc. Things I've always wondered and/or ignored because I didn't think it mattered
Just made this for my son’s birthday! Very easy recipe. I added 1/4 cup of sprinkles and used a space rocket shaped cake pan. I’m not good at frosting, so the whole thing looked like a middle schooler’s art project, but it tasted delicious! Thanks for the recipe and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
You're not good at frosting, but looks like you're good at being a mom ❤
I love how you explain things in a way beginners can understand
I can say this is the best cake recipe I have ever tried and made. This cake is so soft it literally feels like a cloud in your mouth, it’s so tasty and light. I added some fresh strawberries in the middle and it just made it so much better.
Omggg no way how did it hold up in the fridge
Just baked this along with your recipe for swiss meringue buttercream frosting as a birthday cake for my dad. My family loved. Thank you for the amazing recipes
That is one adorable little helper! His wee voice melted my heart❤️❤️❤️
I loved today's recipe, you are my inspiration ❤️ I am making simple recipes every day, no one was putting faith in me ... And God rewarded me with my effort. I am very happy with my growth! God Bless everyone. 🙏
I have tried it for my daughter birthday cake 🎂 but with cherry 🍒 filling
It turns out so delicious and super moist
Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing this recipe
I can’t wait to make this. And now I need a sprinkles drawer
And a sprinkly sound every time you open it✨✨
The detail in your mini food creations is absolutely stunning 😍 Each tiny meal is made with such skill and artistry, making them truly special ✨
John that cake looks great. I was like let's see if he didn't forget to plug in the mixer this time and when you turned it on I was like YAY!! he didn't forget it this time 😂🤣😂🙂 Happy birthday Brian's mom!🙂
Hi, I am from Trinidad. Today I tried your recipe and I am so so so thankful to you. I have tried many recepi over a number of years and today is the first day my cake came out perfect. I have never commented on social media before. This is the first time so I hope you get this message. THANK YOU!
I’m far too obsessed with this channel, but John is so fun and calming, not to mention sweet and seemingly kind and humorous. You can really tell he enjoys doing this.
I made this cake over the weekend for my daughters birthday. It was a hit! The good quality vanilla is a must and confetti sprinkles was so much fun 😊
BRO I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED MAKING YOUR OTHER VANILLA CAKE RECIPE. This better not be better ahhahah. Anyways great job!
I just did the other recipe combined with bits of this one because I checked up his blog first. Used sour cream instead of buttermilk and it turned out great!
Just took mine out of the oven, then saw this post. Did the older version use sour cream?
@@cathysmith5079 Yeah, the old version used 120 ml of whole milk and 120 ml of sour cream if you used 3 egg whites. If you wanted to use 3 full eggs, then it would be 120 ml of milk and 60 ml of sour cream, I did it that way (3 full eggs) and it tastes just like a big yummy vanilla cupcake!
@@cathysmith5079 Yes it did.
Oh no now I have to choose between two
I love how he tells us why for steps that i hear often but don't know the purpose of. now I'm heading to the kitchen! thank you
The kid at the end melted my heart
I made this for new years and it was AMAZING, my whole family loved it so much. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Aaaw your son is adorable! The little plaid shirt... *CUTENESS OVERLOAD*
So far the best cake recipe I've ever used. So fluffy,spongy and tastes so good. Thank you
Oh, the adorable little check shirt, preppy sous-chef at the end was so fun. You are a lucky man to have such sweet boys.
I made this cake the day before yesterday. It was very moist. You could eat this with no frosting.
Awwwww😍 thank you for letting us get a peep of one of your precious boys xox .his sweet little voice 💖
I tried this recipe yesterday and it turned out beautifully - tasted like something you would buy from a posh bakery - thank you very much for sharing this beautiful recipe! I love the joy you bring to every video. Take care!
I made it it was fantastic!!! I even made a cupcake version with a drop of almond extract it was a huge hit
This cake is iconic. My family and I aren’t big fans of buttercream so we had this cake w/o any cream and it was just perfect, everyone loved it.
I'm a forever vanilla cake person 😍
Me too, I like a super moist cake with just a sprinkle of powdered sugar, I’m not a huge frosting fan, but this looks delicious.
Same. I love vanilla everything - vanilla cake, vanilla ice cream, vanilla pudding, vanilla coffee... if it's vanilla, I'm there! 🍦
@@ReginaRibaudo Same here, but I do like light fluffy frostings, usually without butter
@@Nails_By_Kimberlee Ironically, all of my family are into chocolate, and I'm the baker😂
@@walaasy2045 same here! But they like vanilla cake as long as I pile on the chocolate frosting, I will make cupcakes this way I can have my cake and eat it too. I love chocolate too, but my skin does not. 😔
Cheers from Brasil! I'm here to say this cake is just amazing! I made it yesterday and added a strawberry chantilly filling and icing, just perfect! ❤🎉
I would just like to say THANKGOD FOR YOUR RECIPES!!!! Every single one of John's recipes I've tried always turn out amazing and my family love them. This one was hands down the best homemade sponge I've ever made. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My family loves them too. Even my dog! But he loves everything 😅
Agree. I never successfully made a vanilla cake always flopped this perfect first try
I have never before used salt and buttermilk in my cakes. The use of these balances the sweetness - great taste! I followed your pro tips and have lovely fluffy cake layers.
More than your recipes, we appreciate your simplicity and that you embrace mistakes. For amateur bakers like us ( I think I am pretty awesome at that 😂) it gives a lot of hope. We love you
OK, this must be a sign. I looked up online how to make a nice vanilla cake and I came to the website the preppy kitchen. I’m like that looks good and then I said look on RUclips and see if I can find one I just realized it’s the preppy kitchen. 😂😂😂
Aftermath: Ok 1st time ever baking a cake from scratch (62 y/o). It was AMAZING! thank you for the instruction! Very cool. I made a cake. 😂😂
Birthday cake and ice cream, nothing beats that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎂
hello
Best vanilla cake recipe ever. This is the best cake I've ever made, never knew I'd make a cake this tasty.
I'll continue using this recipe😃
Eid mubarik to all those celebrating 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Thanks
I made this today and it turned out perfect!!!!
The sponge was perfectly moist, not too fluff, not too dense and flavourful...half of it is already gone! Dinner time was a struggle...the little one couldn't understand why I was serving mukimo/beef instead of the "pweety, waund, yummy cake" she saw me frosting before dinner time.
Thank you so much all the way from Mombasa, Kenya.
I love making your recipes so much, John. Every recipe I've done is superb and fits my taste perfectly. It's so sad that I can't attempt this vanilla cake recipe. There's something about butter in cakes that throw my taste buds off. Cakes made with butter literally taste like pancakes to me. Not that I hate pancakes, it's just weird that it tastes exactly the same.
substitute it with vegetable oil
I've used sanella and it turned out really yummy 🥰
I made this and my whole family loved it, the texture and taste are just… perfect 🤩 I’m impressed by my own baking!! Thank you so much
Hey awesome !! Just made a choco banana walnut cake today and next is surely gonna be your vanilla cake😋 love from Mumbai, India🥰
Thank you for giving so many great tips when you demonstrate! I LOVE watching your videos ...you have to be one of the NICEST bakers on U-tube🥰...AND I LOVE your kitchen and how it’s decorated AND I hope Brian’s mom LOVED her birthday cake😉
Saw this on my recommended and realized I wasn’t subscribed. Fixed that now ❤️❤️
The cake is looks good i like vanila cake❤
whenever i hear “hey you’re watching preppy kitchen where i john kanell-“ my heart goes wooshhhh
I never comment on videos unless I actually try a recipe and I gotta say, I had a HARD time deciding on a vanilla cake recipe to try on youtube and I finally decided to try this one. I am not disappointed at all and won't even try any other recipes because THIS is the only one that matters.
I tried you recipe for my father's birthday... he just loved it 😊.. your recipes are amazing 🥰
Tried this recipe yesterday and for the buttercream I did the homemade one with milk and white vinegar. It was perfect
I was just about to go back to box cake mixes. I am so thankful you put this recipe out there. I have tried 1 million other cakes and they tasted like cardboard. This one was amazing. I’m going to try your chocolate cake recipe as well. Thanks again
This cake is on the dense side which is perfect for cake pop! I substitute 10g of flour for cornstarch, and reduced sugar to 280g, didn't have buttermilk so used milk with a dash of white vinegar. Came out perfect and delicious!
Looks yummy, but I'm so jealous of his sprinkle drawer! 😯 😍
This is indeed the most amazing vanilla cake. My 16 year old baked this yesterday and her maiden attempt turned out to be the best cake I've ever had. Thank you so much
Ah yes, I’ve already tried it with the recipe on your blog and it was *AMAZING*
Can’t wait to see those apple dumplings get in a video. I’m really bad at folding them and my sauce hardened and couldn’t be eaten
Can u pls help me with the flour in grams.. what the gram of one cup flour? Which country measurement it is
This is literally the best recipe ever!!!! Try this, you won’t be disappointed!
Let me just say that this recipe is the best and the cake is perfection! The crumb is beautiful and tender, so much so that I didn't have to cut it to be sure, you can feel it by just touching the surface. Also, it did not dome but baked quite evenly even without doing the fabric strip around it, so I won't have to do any shaving in order to frost it. When I say the cake is beautiful, I really mean it. I am sincerely impressed, hats off to you John!
I just now made this cake, and this will be my only recipe for birthday cakes now on!! Perfectly tasting, buttery goodness😋😋😋❤️ Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!!!
I need a sprinkle drawer, with sound effects.😻
🤔💭
can you do this without a mixer and without a kitchen scale ?
I just finished having lunch while watching the video, now I want vanilla cake for dessert 😭 it looks so yummy! 😋
2 1/2cups flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup butter
1 2/3cups sugar
3 eggs
1tbs vanilla
1cup buttermilk
Can I substitute eggs with something?
You are the best when it comes to baking cake🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I need that sprinkle drawer! 😍
Some people make a video that outdated after a week. But YOU my friend, are helping people even if your video is older than 4 years. Thanks!!
I was just looking at your vanilla cupcake recipe and watching the video. Then this video popped up! Perfect timing! 💓
I absolutely loved this video! The sound effect for the sprinkle draw is perfect and your little guy is so sweet and adorable.
Do you happen to know how many cupcakes this makes?
The sprinkle drawer is amazing!!! Making this recipe for my Dad right now...💜
Personal goal: have a *SPRINKLES DRAWER* in my dream kitchen 🔸️🔹️🔸️
Thank you for the excellent video! I just bought a KitchenAid mixer and made my first homemade cake today with your recipe. You made it easy and precise with weights and well as so many helpful tips throughout the process! Greatly appreciated! 🙏
I made your vanilla cake recipe literallly today john! I love it!
Hello
I tried this recipe today and the outcome is very good. We almost finished the 3 layers.
Thank you John
Hi! Did you bake this with 3 x 6 inch pans? How long did you bake it for?
The way the littol baby was holding the plate towards the end made my anxious mind go boom xD i was just waiting for the cake to fall :3
You are such a baking scientist. Love your recipes, nothing has gone wrong. My goto channel for baking. God bless you, spread the joy of baking. Today I am going to make this cake ...
Aww your kid is so cute 🥺
john, thanks for this recipe! guys i swear if you follow briefly this recipe, you can never go wrong! The result is always on point
Your kitchen is soooo pretty 😍 and I love how you explain things in such a genuine way
