Simple Vanilla Sheet Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp. vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- You can either create this cake IN one 8″ square baking pan, or use a mixer or mixing bowl to make the batter and pour into a greased 8″ square baking pan. To make in a mixing bowl or mixer, mix the first 4 dry ingredients in your bowl. Make 3 depressions in dry ingredients – two small, one larger. Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third larger depression. Pour water over all of it. Mix well until smooth. (To mix everything in your baking pan, follow the same steps in a greased 8″ square baking pan, mix the first 4 ingredients in the greased pan, add the wet ingredients as above, pour water over everything, and mix.)
- Bake on middle rack of oven for 35 minutes. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely before frosting. Top with your favorite frosting* and enjoy!
Notes
*This is a classic (and very good) buttercream frosting.
**If you want to double this recipe, double all of the ingredients and bake in a 9×13 baking pan.
