Nothing beats home made cake , although you have to admit , those box cake mix , makes our lives a lot easier , not only they’re easy , they’re soft and yummy too . But i really don’t like using a cake box mix for some reason , to me , it’s not really a home made when you all have to do just throw in oil , water and eggs . The past few years i’ve been searching for a good vanilla cake recipe , or as you call it , white cake . I think i finally found one …<\/p>\n

This recipe is easy to throw together , super easy when you have all ingredients on hand . The one that takes up most time is to mix the cake flour if you don’t have cake flour on hand . I don’t always have cake flour on hand . But i do have all purpose flour , cornstarch on hand 90% of the time . So , how do we make cake flour out of all purpose flour ? Easy for every 1 cup of all purpose flour , take 2 Tbsp.out from the measuring cup and replaced with 2 Tbsp. of cornstarch . There you have it .. and then you have to sift then for 5 times back and forth . That’s all !! The rest of ingredients are very basic , butter , eggs , sugar and sour cream . I suggest you always have sour cream on hand too , because they do make a cake moist , as long as you put the right amount .<\/p>\n

The good thing about home made vanilla cake too , you can always choose your own glaze or frosting . The first time i made it , i used vanilla frosting also , this last time , i used chocolate glazed which i added a little vodka and topped it with toasted coconut . Or just plain sprinkle .. whatever .. it’s endless !!<\/p>\n
