How to Make Agave Vanilla Snack Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup agave nectar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  10. For the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, frost evenly.
