WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE AND VANILLA CAKE?

White cake is typically made without egg yolks, and vanilla cake typically includes the yolks. Aside from that, vanilla cake will often use more vanilla extract and sometimes vanilla beans. See my vanilla bean cake recipe for a traditional vanilla cake flavor.

CANI MAKE THIS INTO A 6" CAKE?

Yes, you can! Simply cut the recipe in half. Bake time is 15-18 minutes.

CAN I MAKE THIS IN A 9" x 13" PAN?

Yes, you can! See my white sheet cake recipe for specifics, but bake time is 32-34 minutes.

CAN I MAKE THIS INTO CUPCAKES?

Yes, you can! I recommend halving the recipe (you will get about 14-16 cupcakes). Bake time is 12-14 minutes.

Cake of The Month

Every year, I publish 12 new recipes in a category. The year I did cake, I brought lots of staple layer cakes and a few one pan cakes that are meant to serve as a snack cake. You’ll find my basic yellow cake, white cake, dark chocolate cake, and fresh strawberry cake recipes here.
