  • Super good vanilla cake recipe needed!

    Anyone have a super moist yummy vanilla cake recipe they can share? I have an awesome chocolate cake recipe which I was going to use for O's bday cake but today he said he wanted and half vanilla and half chocolate cake. I figured I could half the chocolate cake recipe and make one layer chocolate and one layer vanilla. Help!

    I used this the last time I made a white cake. It was pretty good. I felt like it was kind of a pain but that's probably just because I never remember to get stuff out ahead of time that is supposed to be room temp.

      I have one. This is a hit! Super moist

      Not-So-Plain Vanilla Cake

      1 box vanilla cake mix (or white if you can't find vanilla)
      1 box vanilla instant pudding
      1 cup (8 oz) vanilla yogurt
      1/2 cup vegetable oil
      1/2 cup water or milk
      4 eggs
      1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but I'd definitely add it if you're using a plain white cake mix)

      Mix it all up and bake it in whatever size pans you please. Frost with any favorite vanilla frosting.

      Definitely very vanilla-y.

        Thanks for the suggestions! I want it all from scratch so I may try CS's recipie. Also thinking of using a hybrid buttercream/whipped cream frosting. The cake request has now changed to an all vanilla cake with vanilla frosting in the middle and choc and vanilla frosting on top in a yin yang. Oy. This is getting complicated.

          Sounds awesome! My kids are limited to what the nice people at Kroger can buy in cake kits and stick on top of a previously frozen cake. If/when they ever start caring, I'll start making my own. (DS: "I don't like cake." DD: "I don't care what it tastes like - it's cake!!")

            Haha, sounds like he has very discerning tastes . Let us know what you end up going with and how it turns out. DH loves vanilla/white cake, I could always use another recipe for it in the arsenal.

            ETA: I don't really have a good one from scratch in the arsenal now otherwise I'd share it. Didn't mean to make it sound like I was holding out on you haha

              I've used this one with good results for coconut cake. I do drizzle it with coconut milk, so that might make it more moist. I haven't tried it straight up as a vanilla cake.

              It is a good recipe, though.

                Let us know how O's cake turns out. All the options have sounded great to me!


                I'm making Heidi's recipe this week, yum!!!!

                  I ended up using this recipe-
                  http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2011/0...-baked-by.html

                  I doubled it. It made a high cake. I think 1 1/2 might of been a better amount. The cake is yummy. Moist but not really dense. I used a hybrid frosting recipe of half butter cream and half whipped cream. It is supper tasty but looks not all that smooth.
                  Here's the recipe. I doubled the recipe and added 1/3 cup cocoa powder to one batch to make chocolate and I added yellow food dye to the vanilla.

                  I'm going to use the same recipe for O's cupcake for his party on Sunday. I'll probably just use a regular butter cream frosting for those however.
