I just love the education you put it to your videos. I learn more about cake when I thought I didn’t have anything more to learn. I finally made your cake goop. Where has that been all my baking life. Thanks for that one.?
Update: I did EXACTLY what you said with the same ingredients ans advices and it turned out SOOOO GOOOD it was perfect!! I wanted a classic but really well made cake and i got exactly that! Thank you so much! So moist and perfectly sugary. Thank you!!!!
I am so grateful to you Liz! My cakes are in the oven, but even though they aren’t fully baked, I know these will come out perfect! I can tell by the viscosity and smell of the batter. I have been looking for a staple vanilla cake recipe that I can doctor to expand my recipe arsenal! I am excited because I got my first “possible “ client today 😁 Between your wonderful guidance of recipes from you and Alexandria (Finespun Cakes) sugar flowers and arrangement! The wedding is in the fall of 2023, but I am going to draw up some sketches and meet with her in a few weeks…. I am so excited I feel I could burst! I just wanted to thank you for all your amazing help and the Sugar Geek Show for introducing me to the world of gum paste flowers and many other skills ❤️
I love one bowl anything! 💞 This reminds me (texture) of the eggless Indian cakes (Rasmalai/Gulab jamun). That look dense but boy are they super moist and hold their shape 😋.
Thank you for bringing the science. I often bake cakes with buttermilk but never knew about the gluten connection. Love that this is one of your simpler cakes, and never saw a faux SMBC. Looks like it’s easier and if it’s also less sweet than an American buttercream, I’m there for it.
Thank you so much for putting so much detail in your videos. I'm just starting, even though I'm not so young, and you're giving me the confidence to go ahead and try.
I always learn so much from every one of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to explain the 'why' of everything you do. I'm going to try this recipe with some added sprinkles inside. Who doesn't love confetti cake ?!?!
I made the cake this weekend and it was different from what I am used but it was yummy. I did add some simple syrup for extra moisture. I also made the buttercream and I LOVED it. I need to practice icing with it because it os softer that what I am used to but the flavor is amazing
Great video. Questions: 1) for a white cake do we use "same amnt of eggs" as this recipe but just the white 2) for yellow cake...in addition to the amnt of whole eggs per tbe recipe, how many yolks do you add?
As a UK viewer - thank you for giving the metric values in the description!😅 I am intrigued by the use of granulated sugar over caster sugar though - would love to understand why!
It’s not really a thing here in the US. You can sometimes find small, but very expensive, boxes of “super fine” sugar in big grocery stores. But we use regular granulated sugar in the overwhelming majority of cases. I only use gram measurements, and only recipes that are actually developed using them (not just listing shoddy conversions from cups!). So I frequently run into recipes from the UK that call for caster sugar. I’ve always subbed in regular granulated and never had an issue.
I love cake and my husband loves cake but one big problem. My husband has celiac disease and can’t consume gluten. Would you happen to have a chocolate or vanilla cake recipe that I could give a try and start baking again. Great video 👍
I can’t wait to try this! I keep a blow dryer in my kitchen solely dedicated to warming my bowl when my buttercream isn’t coming together. Even less dishes 😉
How does this differ from your moist vanilla cake recipe (that I so dearly love)? As far as texture and flavor what the difference between these two? Thanks!
This easy vanilla cake tastes similar to a cake that one might buy at the grocery store and is very easy to make with a simple mixing method and one bowl. It is firmer in texture compared to my moist vanilla cake recipe, which is very soft and pillowy. The moist vanilla cake recipe uses cake flour and the reverse creaming method, resulting in a finer crumb and a more professional wedding cake-type flavor. I love both recipes! I know some people struggle to make my moist vanilla cake, so this easy one bowl vanilla cake is a great option for beginners!
@@SugarGeekShow thanks so much! After learning the reverse creaming method from you I fell in love! I also had never weighed ingredients until that recipe and it changed my life. I may try this recipe one day, but I’m so obsessed with the moist vanilla cake that it’ll be tough to not go straight to that one.
I tried this already! Was planning to make a vanilla cake and filling it with my homemade guava jam and frosting it with stabilized whipped cream frosting. When I saw the notice for this recipe coming up I decided to wait until today. I haven't had success with a couple of yellow/vanilla cake recipes that I've tried in the past so I was kind of worried. Beside my janky decorating skills I would classify this as a huge success. The crumb wasn't quite as fine as I'd hoped for but my layers turned out moist and flavorful! I really didn't feel like weighing out the ingredients but I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
@@amma2x310 I agree with you about trying so many different recipes for vanilla/yellow cake! Every time I attempted to make one, the texture was almost like corn bread. Even recipes that use cake and pastry flour have given me similar results. This is now my staple recipe and I have even used different flavors and extracts! Both the cake and buttercream recipes are so good! I quadrupled both the cake and buttercream. I baked two different size rounds and two different sized squares that are wrapped tight and are stored in my deep freezer. I separated the buttercream in halves and sealed them in airtight containers that are also in my freezer.
Beautiful!!!! I am a beginner baker and I would like to know. How do you know how much baking powder and or baking soda to put in your cakes. That’s the only thing that confuses me. I don’t know when to use one or the other or both?
How would I go about doing multiple colors for the buttercreme? When would I add the color dyes. I’m planning on making 6 colors for my sons rainbow cake. This recipe looks great! Thank you.
Greetings from India ! I would like to try this recipe but if i want avoid butter, what should i do? Can i try as a cupcake as well? Thank you so much !
I have a scale But I also have the best moist tasting Cakes using cup AND spoon measurements 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾 don't knock It 😉 I'm just saying 🤗🤣..... Yet still here to gather all info I can, Thanks for class, All looks Soooo tasty 😋 a new Subby to your newsletter 👍🏾 totally love the Bloopers at the end🤣🤣
Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful receipes n this one seems yummiest.... Can u share how many eggs are required to get the equal amount of egg whites for buttercream
You can’t use regular egg whites for this version of the buttercream because they need to be pasteurized egg whites. Regular egg whites need to be warmed up and in that case you should make a Swiss meringue buttercream
Great tutorial. Could you tell me how much your eggs weigh in there shells for this recipe. I’m in the uk and I think our large eggs weigh more and I’m wanting to try this out. IThank you xx
Nothing, it was only in there for 15 minutes. But don't even waste time with a crumb coat. Just use a piping bag and you'll be finished in 15 minutes anyway.
I'm in South Africa and we don't use ounces here, please assist us in cups or ml/mg next time. Now I have to research and convert this myself, it's a lot of work but I love your channel so I don't mind.
Olá Liz. Admiro muito o seu trabalho, obrigada pela partilha, deve ser delicioso. Para fazer esta receita, mas a versão chocolate, quais as alterações que devo fazer? Desde já obrigada 🙏 Beijinhos de Portugal
Hi Liz, I just discovered you today. I learned so much! I recently started making layer cakes but I'm getting a lot of tunneling in them. Do you have a video that addresses this or can you address it in the future? I love your teaching style, and sense of humor! 🙂
You are a ‘Cake Goddess’🙂, I learn so much from your videos! Thank you thank you!!!!! Liz can you post a video on ‘eggless vanilla cake’ please??? Haven’t been able to achieve a perfect one till date. Thank you in advance 😊
I love your recipes! I'm new to baking and plan to make a unicorn cake for my daughtet this weekend. I saw your unicorn cake, but I don't have and can't find cake flour in Walmart. Can I use this Vanilla Cake recipe and use egg whites instead, to make it white cake? Thank you! ❤️ ❤️❤️
Yes you can, you just want to have an equal amount of weight with the egg whites that you would with the whole eggs. One egg is 1.8 oz and one egg white is 1 oz. I also have a white cake recipe that I love! sugargeekshow.com/recipe/white-cake-recipe/
Thank you Liz! I just started my cake. I used your White Velvet Buttermilk Cake and so far it's awesome after the crumb coat! I will do final frosting on Friday, just in time for her birthday on Saturday. Wish me luck! 🤞❤️😊 I'm getting addicted in baking now. Thank you! ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗
Hi! New subscriber here May I ask where’s your apron from? Thank you. I love your recipes. I tried your lemon cake with the reverse cream method. It was great
I tried this recipe and filled the cake with the buttercream and it was delicious the first and second day but in the third day the cake was so sweet can I know why or do I have to use less sugar
I don't know what's wrong with me.I don't want to make it..I just want someone else to make it so I can eat it 👋🏻😁👍🏻 So cool, so pretty I just want to jump into my screen. Oh wow bloopers too !!!

Thank you so much for putting so much detail in your videos. I'm just starting, even though I'm not so young, and you're giving me the confidence to go ahead and try.
You’re so right about investing in a scale. I resisted for a long time, so glad I gave in!

Just made it. It was amazing. ❤
Thanks for watching!! You can get the recipe for this easy vanilla cake on our blog 🌟 sugargeekshow.com/recipe/easy-vanilla-cake/
I like this recipe better than the other one this one is my favorite but they both are really good
I made the cake this weekend and it was different from what I am used but it was yummy. I did add some simple syrup for extra moisture.
I also made the buttercream and I LOVED it. I need to practice icing with it because it os softer that what I am used to but the flavor is amazing
Hi Liz, could I use this recipe for a sheet cake? Would I need to double it for a half sheet?

1) for a white cake do we use "same amnt of eggs" as this recipe but just the white
2) for yellow cake...in addition to the amnt of whole eggs per tbe recipe, how many yolks do you add?

In order to get height for gf cakes, go with three, thinner layers.
You are the best Liz. Thank you for teaching us so much ❤️
Your vanilla cake sounds delicious. can I substitute the vegetable oil with butter or what would you suggest. Thank you Rosie
I can’t wait to try this! I keep a blow dryer in my kitchen solely dedicated to warming my bowl when my buttercream isn’t coming together. Even less dishes 😉

Hi, can I replace the butter with oil? If so, how much oil do I use in this recipe?
Thanks Liz for sharing another yummy 😋 recipe ❤️
Thanks for watching!
How would I go about doing multiple colors for the buttercreme? When would I add the color dyes. I’m planning on making 6 colors for my sons rainbow cake. This recipe looks great! Thank you.
Hi Liz,
Can you just confirm if it’s okay to freeze warm cakes as I have read that freezing warm cakes can cause them to become soggy?

Milk or butter milk is good for cakes. Thank you in advance
Hi, thank you. Could you tell me why did you warm the butter cream during making?
Would this recipe be ok to layer (with support rods) for a wedding cake?
Love ❤️ this. Will definitely give it a try. Thank you 😊

Hi. In your Black Forest cake recipe can kids eat it with the kirsh?
It’s definitely a boozy cake, I’d recommend leaving out the kirsch if you’re planning on serving it to kids
@@SugarGeekShow Ok thanks!
Hello I just have a question… what do you do with the leftover buttercream when you placed your cake on the refrigerator after it’s first coating?
Nothing, it was only in there for 15 minutes. But don't even waste time with a crumb coat. Just use a piping bag and you'll be finished in 15 minutes anyway.
I'm in South Africa and we don't use ounces here, please assist us in cups or ml/mg next time. Now I have to research and convert this myself, it's a lot of work but I love your channel so I don't mind.

Can you reduce the sugar in the buttercream? When I made it I found it really sweet! And it doesn’t crust, correct?
That looks amazing!!!
Hi Liz, I just discovered you today. I learned so much! I recently started making layer cakes but I'm getting a lot of tunneling in them. Do you have a video that addresses this or can you address it in the future?
I love your teaching style, and sense of humor! 🙂
Tunnelling can be caused by overbeating the cake mix. You should aim to mix everything the minimum amount.
You are a ‘Cake Goddess’🙂, I learn so much from your videos! Thank you thank you!!!!!
Liz can you post a video on ‘eggless vanilla cake’ please??? Haven’t been able to achieve a perfect one till date. Thank you in advance 😊

Hi! New subscriber here
May I ask where’s your apron from? Thank you. I love your recipes. I tried your lemon cake with the reverse cream method. It was great
I love your apron! Where did you purchase it? 💕
I tried this recipe and filled the cake with the buttercream and it was delicious the first and second day but in the third day the cake was so sweet can I know why or do I have to use less sugar
Thank you, Liz!
I love your apron! Too cute ☺️
Can you freeze the butter cream ? If so how do I properly thaw it thank you !
I love you and have been watching you since you had braces much love my sweetheart
How does one get the frosting to look so straight and even when sliced. What a beautiful cake.
I watched the video and see once again how rhe professionals make this look so easy. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Do you need to use bleached all purpose for this or is it fine to use unbleached?
Can we use all oil? And doea this make good cupcakes? :)
Love it pet your kitty lol. Love all your recipes your the best thank you for sharing 🫶🏼❤️
Hello Liz, I would like to know how much each egg you use without the shell weighs?
For a smooth buttercream is it better to use the whisk attachment or the paddle?
Start off with the whisk to whip in air and get rid of the buttery flavor, then paddle it to smooth out the bubbles.
I don’t have access to pasteurized egg whites, can i use regular egg whites instead for this buttercream recipe??
Is there an easy coconut cake or what do we add to this to make it's coconut cake? I'm sure extract but any suggestions?
Here’s our coconut cake recipe sugargeekshow.com/recipe/coconut-cake-recipe/
Hi. I can't find your cake mixer, not the kitchen Aid but the other big one. I would like to order it.
Hi can i use normal fresh egg whites with granulated sugar same amount
Was this a double batch that you made I notice you had 6 eggs in the bowl of water?
Can we use all egg whites instead of whole eggs to make this a whiter cake? If so what would the substitution be.
I don't know what's wrong with me.I don't want to make it..I just want someone else to make it so I can eat it 👋🏻😁👍🏻 So cool, so pretty I just want to jump into my screen. Oh wow bloopers too !!!
Hola Liz
Cuál es la harina que usas, harina para repostería ò harina para pastel???
De antemano muchas gracias, saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México
Usa harina todo usó, de la regular ,aquí en USA es all purpouse flour.
Could I add rainbow Jimmie’s to this or your white cake recipe for a funfetti? Or will they sink to the bottom?
Hey Liz, my batter had a lot of bubbles in it before it poured it into the pan. Is this ok or normal?
Can I make cupcakes with this recipe?
