How to Make Easy Vanilla Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
