Granulated sugar: This is the type of sugar you typically find in a sugar bowl.

Baking soda: This also helps the cake rise and gives it a bit of a light and fluffy texture.

Buttermilk: This helps to make the cake moist. You can also use regular milk, but it will not be as moist.

Vanilla extract: This adds flavor to the cake. You can also use other extract flavors, such as almond or lemon.

What equipment do I need?

  • A 9×13 inch baking pan: This is the size of pan that you will need for this recipe. You can use a different pan, but you must adjust the baking time.
  • A large bowl: This is for mixing the cake batter.
  • A whisk: This is for mixing the dry ingredients.

Tips and tricks for a better recipe

Butter cake: Ready to eat

First of all, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning the recipe. This will help them incorporate better and produce a more consistent cake.

  • Preheat the oven before starting the cake batter. This will help ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the ingredients. Over-mixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Be precise with the measurements. Baking is a science, so ensuring the ingredients are correctly measured is crucial in producing a successful cake.
  • Grease and flour the baking pan before adding the batter. This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the pan and ensure it comes out cleanly.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean. This will guarantee that the cake is cooked and not undercooked or burnt.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack. This will help it firm up slightly and make it easier to remove from the pan.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra special treat.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • To freeze the thawed cake, place it on the countertop overnight, or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
  • This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • If you want to make cupcakes instead of a cake, this recipe will yield about 24-30 cupcakes. Bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.

Finally, for an extra special touch, top the cupcakes with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream before serving.
