How to Make White Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  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 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. 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. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 30-33 minutes for a 9x13 inch cake, or 18-20 minutes for cupcakes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
