- With 6M + views on my original video and due to popular demand, I filmed an updated version of the original recipe using half of the ingredients in order to make 1 cake, because the previous recipe is a large one.

Recipe: Makes 1 x 8" cake
3 eggs (I used large eggs)
1 tsp Vanilla (5ml)
Pinch of salt
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 3/4 cup cake flour (265g) - you can use all purpose but cake flour is preferable
3/4 cup milk (175ml)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (125ml)
1/2 Tbsp Baking powder
⚠️NOTES:
- Using baking strips or damp towels will prevent the cake from staying raw in the middle, having burnt edges, or forming domes.
- You can use melted butter but note that the texture will be more dense when compared with oil based cakes

Ran out of butter and I wanted cake, found this gem of a recipe. It was delicious!
I used avocado oil and substituted 20g of flour for cocoa powder. Perfect choc cake
I am a newbie in baking and I must say I have tried different recipes but this is by far the best. I have had some failed results in the past but when I followed your instructions my cake remained moist and soft even after days in the fridge. My kid loves it so thank you!
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment, i'm really happy to know you all liked this recipe ☺️
No way you commented that I was looking for a recipe that remained moist in the fridge for days after!!!!! I need to give this a try!!
I tried your recipe this evening and the cake came out so soft, fluffy and nice. It's my first time trying out an oil based vanilla recipe. Thank you
I’m so glad to hear you liked this recipe! 🥰🥰
Enjoy!!
This recipe is a favorite now. thanks so much! my kid wanted cupcakes so i used my 6-cupcake pan and the rest of the mix went into a 6-inch squared pan (it was a thinner cake but perfect). both cooked in 20min at the same time.
So glad to hear that! Enjoy❤️
@@ButtercutBakery why do you need to use a wet towel?
Woooow super soft very delicious recipe thanks for sharing such a nice Recipe 👍👍👍👍👌👍👌
I just tested this one out, I'm suprised at how good it turned out. I made this in a loaf tin & added orange extract aswell as vanilla & once out the oven covered in lemon drizzle icing. Was brilliant🤤😋
Great to hear! Sounds yummy!
Enjoy!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
smart
My mom would kill me if I made a cake rn at 8:00 pm 😂 but I might anyway
Hi Sophia! How did it turn out? 😅
I would kill for one of my kids to make a cake. How funny is that??😍🤣
SAME
@@angelika77st I'm 12 and I wanna make one for my mom
Brow 8pm???
I c u want to die😒
I have made this recipe over and over and again. And it is always delicious and fluffy. It is now my number one vanilla cake recipe. Thank you so much for sharing 👍
So happy you like this recipe ☺️❤️
Thankyou soooo much for the recipe!!! People... This works like a charm. Take my word. I have tried 9+ recipes on vanilla cakes and nothingggggg is as amazing as this. If you are looking for a fool proof recipe, make this!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
I am absolutely in love with this recipe. I am never going back to those butter based cakes ever again. I did the cake exactly like in the recipe and it turned out super delicious and moist. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to hear this❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou for being sincere
I made this cake and i dont have words to explain how awesome it turned out
Everyone loved it
Idk what it was in this video that hyped me up to bake after a long time of burning cakes i was looking for a genuine recipe and i found this
Thankyou very much
Your sincerity with sharing your passion will return loads of blessings onto you and your family.
May you go forward with shining success ❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind comment! It really made my day and I was happy to heat that you enjoyed this cake with your family ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the recipe, this is just perfect 🙏 I have a big family and with the recipe with 5 eggs, everybody can have more than one piece of cake 😁 Today, I've replaced 50g of flour by cocoa and this chocolate version was delicious. Greetings from France, merci !!
Hi! I am so happy you liked this recipe, adding coco powder is a great choice too! I'm working on some new chocolate recipes that are very rich so I hope you'll like them as well! Bon weekend!☺️☺️

Just a question..did you use unsweetened cocoa powder or sweetened?
@@lindseymobley8440 unsweetened 😊
Hey
So you only used 5 eggs instead of 3? You didn't use more of other ingredients?
I have s big family too
I've tried it yesterday and made cupcakes. 24 ! And they were perfect ! Moist and super tasty. Thank you very much 🙏❤️ Greetings from France ! 😁
I am so glad you liked it!! ❤️❤️
So I tried the recipe using
vegetable oil only
Melted butter only
Vegetable oil and Melted butter
They all came out lovely.
Thanks so much
I’m glad you liked it! Enjoy!
Simply amazing made this today and this was amazing. My family loved it and it wasnt too sweet nor too bitter and this is the best recipe yet on vanilla cakes definitely using it again. I didn't have vanilla extract so I substituted it for honey ty for this and stay safe😋
Glad you liked it!!
I tried this recipe today and it turned out amazing! I have never used cake flour before so I made one cake with all purpose flour and one with cake flour to see the difference. I also loved how the recipe doesn’t use butter. Creaming sugar and butter is the bain of my existence and I can never get it just right. This cake kind of had a pound cake feel to it and I love that! Will be making this again for sure!
So glad you liked it!!
Buttercut Bakery Just a question…how long do you usually whip your eggs till they get foamy? Im worried I might overwhip them (if thats a thing!)
In your opinion Which was better all purpose or cake flour?
Arima Babe cake flour!
@@lindseymobley8440 hi, was the cake with all purpose flour still good?
Beautiful and delicious cake. It went in a day by just two people. Keep going.
Greetings from London.
I have been struggling with making the perfect cake but following your method worked for me the best, Hands down best channel I found.
Thank you and enjoy the holiday :)
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Enjoy the holiday! 🥰🥰
I tried this recipe and it turned out perfect. I prefer this over the butter based ones.
Great to hear!❤️❤️
I use the other one for a big cake and they turn out so well, I will try this one too. Thanks for the video
You're welcome 😊
Can the other recipe do 2 8'' inch cakes?
I didn't like the last vanilla recipe I used, so I decided I'm going to change it up. I came to youtube and saw this video and so I tried this recipe since night, and it was delicious and soft, thank you so much. I put a bit less sugar thou, which I tend to do with most if not all my cakes 💕.
Great to hear you liked this recipe! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Stop what you are doing - and try this recipe right now! This is the best cake I have ever made - full stop!
Thank you so much for your comment! So glad you liked this recipe 🥰🥰
I agree best cakes eveeerr!
I Have used your recipe TWICE now. Thank you so much. Not too sweet either.
So glad you like it!!
I was literally just looking at the original video😂 Thanks for the update❤
My pleasure 😅 hope this one is helpful!
I need to make a bigger cake so I'll be following the first one. Hopefully I'll have enough frosting left over then I can make a smaller version to keep for my family🤗
@@markieadixon4698 how did the cake taste
Lmao same
Hello you guys sorry for the wait. It turned out well and is definitely my new go to for vanilla layers! It is definitely sturdy and fluffy. Be sure not to over mix and you should be fine. Good luck!
Good day, I tried this recipe, excellent texture & very tasty, added 1/2 tsp lemon rind , thank you
Glad you liked it☺️☺️
Ok I've decided imma make this one instead as the other one was too much cant wait to see how it comes out 🙃🙃
Hope it turns out well!
Tried this today ...cake came out to be fantastic ❤❤❤
Glad you liked it🥰
I was looking at the original one. It is so yummy 😋 but yeah too big for just one person 😄 thanks for uploading this one
My pleasure! Yes the original one is a big recipe😅
I tried this recipe for my father's birthday. it turned out so good.. fluffy and delicious. So light. Just the way i want it. Thank you. I will make this again soon
Glad you liked it! Happy birthday!
Thank you
Thank you so much for this recipe. I usually spoon a couple tablespoons of simple syrup on my layers before frosting. Should I omit that with this recipe? Thanks again😊
Hi there! This is exactly what I do ☺️ I love adding simple syrup to my cakes!
@@ButtercutBakeryplease reply
How many pounds of cake will your recipe make?
I'm looking for a vanilla cake recipe without butter. because when I made vanilla cake with butter, the result tasted like butter cake. I will make it later.thank you for this recipe❤❤❤
Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it turns out❤️
I baked it last night, and we ate it the next day. the smell of the egg disappeared and it became even more delicious. maybe it's better if it's eaten the next day.
Thank you for this! I was just wondering if there is a difference in taste or quality between this recipe and your original one?
Hi! There isn’t really much of a difference, this recipe was made because many people were confused on how to cut the original recipe in half. Also, i added the sat and vanilla at the beginning to avoid any eggy smell. And finally, skipped the long resting phase because it was something that confused people and it was optional ☺️☺️
Tried it today and it turned out amazing!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I'm so happy to hear this! Enjoy!
I absolutely love this recipe!! Made a cream cheese and raspberry cake out of this and it was perfect! But would I be able to use this same batter for cupcakes?
I’m so glad to hear that! Yes, this works for cupcakes as well ☺️
i was looking for your recipe for only one cake and im sooo happy i found this.
Hope you enjoy!
Heaven sent! Thank uuu :))
Enjoy!
when ever I want to make a cake I watch this 😁
Hey! Love your video! Thank you for sharing! Also, what temperature do u suggest putting you oven on for when baking CUPCAKES, And how long should the cupcakes be in the oven for this recipe? I find my cupcakes brown on the bottom so quick. I am still learning how my oven works.
Hi! Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰 I bake cupcakes at 160C for 18-20 minutes. Don’t place them close to the bottom heat source, you’d want to place them on the middle rack! Let me know how it goes☺️☺️
Thank you! I will definately let you know!
One of the best recipes i have ever tried!
RECOMMENDED!! ❤
ur soo right
Glad you liked it!!
Im the first lots of ❤ from Sri Lanka
Hello! ❤️❤️
Just made it and it was soooo great. Thank you for this recipe.
Hope you enjoy!
So strange, not sure what happened but my cake was a fail. So dense, and it warped at the bottom. I followed entire recipe, and the only thing that I I couldn’t was the oven temp. Mine didn’t go to 329, had to set at 330
Edit: realized my baking powder measurement was off. Trying recipe again today and in a diff pan 🙏🏽..forgot to add salt in the beginning, so I added it at the end. Hopefully all goes well. Halp 😅 🙏🏽
How did it turn out?
Tell us what happened to it I am curious
It’s really the best, I made it and it was wow too fluffy
So glad you like this recipe! 🩷
hi☺️making a cake for my dads birthday, how does it affect the cake if I don’t use a towel? (tbh im scared of it catching fire😭😂)
Hi! The damp towels wont catch fire as long as they dont touch the heat surface, you can place your pan on a tray to be more sure! Towels will help the cake bake slower which will result in no raw middles, no domes, and no burnt edges ☺️☺️ Also happy birthday to your dad!
This is best Vanila cake recipe I’ve made. Thank you so much 😘
Glad you like it Sofia!
Wow this actually turned out really well
I'm so glad to hear this!
Good morning thank you for the halved ingredients , have a blessed day

Hi Fatima! So glad you like this recipe and sorry for the delay in replying to you. Have a nice day!
@@ButtercutBakery i feel loved🥰
I just put it in the oven, can't stop eating the left over mixture 🥰😋
😍😍
I am baking it almost all the time! Saw the difference from the first video with double recipe and this one is coming smaller than the others
Hi Mariah! How do you like this version? I would love to know as I'm preparing some fall recipes! ☺️
This looks so good and easy! 😍 Thank you do much for sharing your recipe! I will definitely try to make this for my cousin's graduation day! Although I'm planning to color the batter, I was wondering if it will still turn out good?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment 😊 yes you can add colour to the batter! I hope it turns out good!
@@ButtercutBakery good to hear! Thank you so much!
I made this today and it was amazing, it's so fluffy and yummy, thanks :D
So glad you liked it!
Tried the recipe and I love it.
So glad!
So I multiplied recipe by 1.56 for a 10 inch baking pan, should I decrease temp by about 8 degrees F and turn fan off?
I guess another question I have is are u uysing a convection or conventional oven?
PS I can see you sed a half teaspoon of salt but the recipe says a "pinch"
Hello! I’m making a half sheet cake and want to know the exact measurements or can I just double the recipe and would be fine for a half sheet cake?
Thank you for sharing your recipe maam..❤❤❤
Most welcome ❤️
New subscriber and self teaching myself and its looking good.. 👌 💯
Hi Marjury! Hope you'll be able to learn a lot from this channel and that it will be helpful to you!
Hi, it looks so good and yummy. Can I use any cooking oil or does it have to be vegetable oil?
Hi! You can use canola, sunflower...
Texture wise it's amazing recipe.....but i feel my cakes are dry and not moist......any tip to avoid it
This is the best vanilla cake recipe ever. Thank you so much.
Thank you! Glad you liked it 🥰
Since I don’t have vegetable oil, do you think I should my sunflower oil or my butter as an alternative? Thank you!!! Love your cakes
Thank you! 🥰 You can use either 😊 butter will give a more dense texture but rich
@@ButtercutBakery thank you!! You’re so nice!!
Thank u darling for this recipe🥰🥰🥰🥰
Pls you said yes to the use of butter..do I Av to melt the butter so as to make it runny like oil??????
Hey y'all cakes 🎂is my favorite so I will definitely try this one👍
Hope you enjoy! 🥰🥰
Okay 👍
Looks delicious 👌🏻😋 Have a wonderful day 🌻
Thank you! You too❤️
The best!!!! so spongy and light 😋 I wish I made 2 instead of 1
So glad you liked it!
I was trying to figure out how to half the original recipe, then I find this video. Thank you! I’ll be trying it today 👏🏻 I don’t have vegetable oil so I’ll be using olive oil I think, or coconut oil. Which do you recommend as a replacement?
Hi! Glad you found this video! I would recommend using butter honestly. Coconut oil could work but definitely not olive. Also, the texture will differ slightly. Enjoy!
Hey! I'm gonna definitely try this recipe tomorrow but i need some decorating ideas. Can you pls tell me the best frosting for this cake? And should it be soaked with simple syrup? I'll review as soon as i make it!
I always use simple syrup. My favourite icing is the swiss meringue buttercream, i have my recipe listed on my channel😊
@@ButtercutBakery thank you so much I'll try it today!
Omg! I tried it and it was amazing! Everyone in my family loved it! I just have a doubt. My cake tasted awesome but the consistency was a bit hard so i drizzled a lot of syrup. Why did that happen?
Im going to try this!!❤
Hope you like it! 💕
❤❤delicious thank you for posting ❤❤
Thank you! 💕💕
This looks so good! Cant wait to try it. Can you bake it as a taller cake? I need to make a 3"/7.5cm high cake
I know some recipes that have a lot of liquid in it dont bake well as higher cakes.
Hi there! Thank you for you comment!
I does although I don't bake tall cakes because they tend to dry so I prefer baking small layers and stacking them. But that's just me, if you prefer thick layers feel free to do that ☺️
How different will the cake turn out if I use AP flour instead of cake flour? Love the video!
Hi! Cake flour would make it more fluffy in texture. I honestly been making it with AP recently and still love it as much! I can barely tell the difference, and all because I tend to always have AP flour at home but not cake flour 😊😊
@@ButtercutBakery thank you so much, I’m excited to try your recipe!
@@katienguyen6708 no problem! Let me know how it goes! And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! 🥰
Hi! Could I use Canola oil instead of vegetable oil? Really excited to try this recipe!
Yes! 🥰
Hi, thanks for the recipe!🤗 I noticed you didn't put the batter in the fridge like the original version. So should we not put it in the fridge?
Hi Sarah! It’s totally optional and I put it in the fridge because I like to allow my batter to rest before baking to prevent bubbles. The fridge is only because where I’m from it tends to get super hot 🥰
Hello - i really want to adapt this recipe to make it a coconut cake. Do you think I could swap the milk for coconut milk and reduce the flour to add shredded coconut? I love this recipe so much and would love to try and adapt!! x
Hi! You can definitely use coconut milk instead of milk or do half half so half milk half coconut milk. If you’re adding shredded coconut I don’t think you need to reduce the flour (it’s like adding sprinkles or chocolate chips) ☺️ hope this helps! X
I’ll be posting so many new flavours in July, you inspired me to do coconut! 🥥😁
@@ButtercutBakery thanks so much! you should definitely do coconut!!!! :) will shredded coconut not dry the cake out? hence why i thought less flour! :S
It depends on which type of coconut you are using, will it be dried or fresh? dried coconut will suck the moisture out of the cake; i would personally decrease the amount of flour by 1/4 cup maybe... Hope i'm helping!
@@ButtercutBakery Dried :) desicated/shredded x
@@ButtercutBakery def helped!!! x
Hello. Do you think the addition of sour cream will hurt this recipe. I'm thinking half sour cream and half milk.
Hi there! Sour cream is a good milk substitute so it would be good to do half half. It also gives the cake more moisture ☺️
hii! could i ask how long to bake it for a 4 inch tin that has 1.5inch of batter inside?
This recipe looks delicious, I’m definitely going to try it! If I need to cake for 50 (I suppose I will need at least two tiers), what pans size do you think I should do? How can I calculate how much batter do I need? Thank you!!
Thank you! I would recommend following the original recipe which is x2 this one if you need a big cake. This one makes 1 x 8inch pan which would roughly feed 15 people ☺️
Thankiu for the recipe! It looks very sponge, I will definitely try it. I have a question , if I'm going to use all purpose flour, do I need to add more baking powder or the 1/2 is enough? Thanx. 😁
Thank you! You should use the same amount of baking powder ☺️
@@ButtercutBakery thanx for the quick response 😁
Is it Very sweet? I just like medium sweetness or the right sweetness
I’d say the right sweetness 😊 based on feedbacks I got
hiya I love your recipe I'm trying it for the first time today, do you have to use an electric mixer? I don't have one
Hi there! You don’t, but you’re gonna have a good workout while mixing the eggs and sugar 😄
I was just watching the original vid then i saw this after hahahaha the cake looks really moist!! I really want to try this as soon as possible!! Im so excited!! How many 6x2 can i make for this?? ☹️ measurement?
Hope you like it! This recipe will make about 2 x6 inch pans it's half the other one ☺️☺️
Me encato tu receta la voy hacer por que la mayoria delos videos es de tres leches y yo lo quiero que no lleve las tres leches este me sorve verdad? Gracias
