How to Make Vanilla Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be slightly thin.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. For the frosting: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and ½ cup milk. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  9. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Frost the cooled cake and enjoy!
