A simple vanilla cake that\u2019s easy to make, with a very soft, light crumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It melts in the mouth, stays tender even the next day, and uses basic pantry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The method is quick and straightforward, with no complicated techniques, for consistent results every time you bake it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMoist Vanilla Cake : easy, buttery, and reliably soft<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis extra-soft vanilla cake is pure childhood comfort for us. My mum found the recipe in an old French cookbook her aunt gave her.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt quickly became a family favourite, and one of the very first cakes I learned to make on my own, just like mouskoutchou<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s also a brilliant base for a birthday cake: it slices neatly, stays tender, and works beautifully with all kinds of fillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI often bake it instead of yogurt cake<\/a> whenever there\u2019s no yogurt in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt has that rich \u201call-butter cake\u201d taste, but the milk keeps the crumb even softer and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt home, we love it served with cr\u00e8me anglaise. When I do that, I simply cut back the sugar a little so the flavours stay balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMy best tip: get everything ready in advance and keep your ingredients at room temperature (unless the recipe says otherwise).<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd if you need melted butter, melt it early so it can cool slightly, if it\u2019s too hot, it can scramble the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVanilla cake recipe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIngredients (with helpful notes + cups)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nUsing a 240 ml cup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n225 g self-raising flour (about 1\u00be cups + 2 tbsp)<\/strong>: gives a light, airy crumb.\u00a0If using plain\/all-purpose flour:<\/em> add \u00bd tsp baking powder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n220 g sugar (about 1 cup + 2 tbsp)<\/strong>: for sweetness and a moist texture.\u00a0Tip:<\/em> reduce slightly if serving with custard or frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n125 g butter, melted and cooled slightly (about \u00bd cup + 1 tbsp)<\/strong>: buttery flavour and a tender bite.\u00a0Melt ahead so it\u2019s warm, not hot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n125 ml milk (about \u00bd cup)<\/strong>: keeps the cake soft (less risk of dryness).\u00a0Room temperature helps the batter mix smoothly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n2 eggs<\/strong>: structure + softness.\u00a0Room temperature mixes better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n2 tbsp vanilla extract<\/strong>: the main flavour.\u00a0Adjust to taste depending on strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\u00bd tsp baking powder (only if not using self-raising flour)<\/strong>: helps the cake rise evenly without an aftertaste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nStep-by-step instructions (easy to follow)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nPrepare the pan (20 cm \/ 8-inch)<\/strong>\n\nA springform or removable-base pan<\/strong> makes unmoulding easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\nIf using a regular pan, line it with baking paper<\/strong> (base + sides) to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nPreheat the oven<\/strong>\n\nHeat to 160\u00b0C<\/strong> and place the rack in the middle<\/strong> for even baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nStart the batter<\/strong>\n\nIn a bowl, lightly whisk<\/strong> the eggs and sugar until combined.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd the liquids<\/strong>\n\nStir in the melted butter (cooled slightly)<\/strong>, vanilla, and milk until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd the flour<\/strong>\n\nMix in the self-raising flour (or plain flour + baking powder).<\/li>\n\n\n\nStir only until the batter is uniform<\/strong>\u2014don\u2019t overmix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nBake<\/strong>\n\nPour into the prepared pan, level the top, and bake for about 55 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nCool and unmould<\/strong>\n\nLet it cool for a few minutes<\/strong>, then unmould gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFinish cooling on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTroubleshooting tips (dense, dry, too sweet)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nDense cake:<\/strong> use room-temp ingredients<\/strong>, make sure butter is not hot<\/strong>, and stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together.<\/li>\n\n\n\nDry cake:<\/strong> keep oven at 160\u00b0C<\/strong>, start checking around 50 minutes, and don\u2019t overbake.<\/li>\n\n\n\nToo sweet:<\/strong> reduce sugar by 10-20%<\/strong> if you\u2019re serving it with custard, frosting, or sweet toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nStorage, freezing, and reheating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nRoom temperature:<\/strong> store under a cake dome or in an airtight container for 2-3 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFridge:<\/strong> only if it\u2019s very warm at home (the cake can firm up).<\/li>\n\n\n\nFreezing:<\/strong> slice, wrap well, and freeze up to 2 months<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nReheating:<\/strong> 10-15 seconds in the microwave, or a few minutes in a low oven to bring back softness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nFAQ (the questions readers actually ask)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nCan I use vanilla bean instead of extract?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, scrape the seeds into the sugar or eggs. You can also infuse the pod in the milk, then remove it.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCan I swap part of the sugar for brown sugar?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes. It adds a slight caramel note and a darker colour, often with a slightly moister crumb.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHow do I get a flatter top for layer cakes?\u00a0<\/strong>Bake more gently and evenly (avoid big temperature swings), and keep oven-door opening to a minimum.<\/li>\n\n\n\nWhy did my cake crack on top?\u00a0<\/strong>Usually the oven runs hot or the surface sets too quickly. Lower the temperature slightly next time.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCan I add chocolate chips or fruit?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, toss them lightly in flour first so they don\u2019t sink, and don\u2019t add too much or the cake may feel heavy.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHow can I change the flavour without affecting texture?\u00a0<\/strong>Add citrus zest or a small splash of orange blossom water for a fragrant twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOther Desserts to try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nCranberry Cake Recipe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nMoist Raisin Loaf cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nFluffy Moist Lemon Cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nGluten-Free

This extra-soft vanilla cake is pure childhood comfort for us. My mum found the recipe in an old French cookbook her aunt gave her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It quickly became a family favourite, and one of the very first cakes I learned to make on my own, just like mouskoutchou<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s also a brilliant base for a birthday cake: it slices neatly, stays tender, and works beautifully with all kinds of fillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI often bake it instead of yogurt cake<\/a> whenever there\u2019s no yogurt in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt has that rich \u201call-butter cake\u201d taste, but the milk keeps the crumb even softer and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt home, we love it served with cr\u00e8me anglaise. When I do that, I simply cut back the sugar a little so the flavours stay balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMy best tip: get everything ready in advance and keep your ingredients at room temperature (unless the recipe says otherwise).<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd if you need melted butter, melt it early so it can cool slightly, if it\u2019s too hot, it can scramble the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVanilla cake recipe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIngredients (with helpful notes + cups)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nUsing a 240 ml cup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n225 g self-raising flour (about 1\u00be cups + 2 tbsp)<\/strong>: gives a light, airy crumb.\u00a0If using plain\/all-purpose flour:<\/em> add \u00bd tsp baking powder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n220 g sugar (about 1 cup + 2 tbsp)<\/strong>: for sweetness and a moist texture.\u00a0Tip:<\/em> reduce slightly if serving with custard or frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n125 g butter, melted and cooled slightly (about \u00bd cup + 1 tbsp)<\/strong>: buttery flavour and a tender bite.\u00a0Melt ahead so it\u2019s warm, not hot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n125 ml milk (about \u00bd cup)<\/strong>: keeps the cake soft (less risk of dryness).\u00a0Room temperature helps the batter mix smoothly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n2 eggs<\/strong>: structure + softness.\u00a0Room temperature mixes better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n2 tbsp vanilla extract<\/strong>: the main flavour.\u00a0Adjust to taste depending on strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\u00bd tsp baking powder (only if not using self-raising flour)<\/strong>: helps the cake rise evenly without an aftertaste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nStep-by-step instructions (easy to follow)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nPrepare the pan (20 cm \/ 8-inch)<\/strong>\n\nA springform or removable-base pan<\/strong> makes unmoulding easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\nIf using a regular pan, line it with baking paper<\/strong> (base + sides) to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nPreheat the oven<\/strong>\n\nHeat to 160\u00b0C<\/strong> and place the rack in the middle<\/strong> for even baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nStart the batter<\/strong>\n\nIn a bowl, lightly whisk<\/strong> the eggs and sugar until combined.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd the liquids<\/strong>\n\nStir in the melted butter (cooled slightly)<\/strong>, vanilla, and milk until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd the flour<\/strong>\n\nMix in the self-raising flour (or plain flour + baking powder).<\/li>\n\n\n\nStir only until the batter is uniform<\/strong>\u2014don\u2019t overmix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nBake<\/strong>\n\nPour into the prepared pan, level the top, and bake for about 55 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nCool and unmould<\/strong>\n\nLet it cool for a few minutes<\/strong>, then unmould gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFinish cooling on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTroubleshooting tips (dense, dry, too sweet)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nDense cake:<\/strong> use room-temp ingredients<\/strong>, make sure butter is not hot<\/strong>, and stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together.<\/li>\n\n\n\nDry cake:<\/strong> keep oven at 160\u00b0C<\/strong>, start checking around 50 minutes, and don\u2019t overbake.<\/li>\n\n\n\nToo sweet:<\/strong> reduce sugar by 10-20%<\/strong> if you\u2019re serving it with custard, frosting, or sweet toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nStorage, freezing, and reheating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nRoom temperature:<\/strong> store under a cake dome or in an airtight container for 2-3 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFridge:<\/strong> only if it\u2019s very warm at home (the cake can firm up).<\/li>\n\n\n\nFreezing:<\/strong> slice, wrap well, and freeze up to 2 months<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nReheating:<\/strong> 10-15 seconds in the microwave, or a few minutes in a low oven to bring back softness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nFAQ (the questions readers actually ask)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nCan I use vanilla bean instead of extract?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, scrape the seeds into the sugar or eggs. You can also infuse the pod in the milk, then remove it.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCan I swap part of the sugar for brown sugar?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes. It adds a slight caramel note and a darker colour, often with a slightly moister crumb.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHow do I get a flatter top for layer cakes?\u00a0<\/strong>Bake more gently and evenly (avoid big temperature swings), and keep oven-door opening to a minimum.<\/li>\n\n\n\nWhy did my cake crack on top?\u00a0<\/strong>Usually the oven runs hot or the surface sets too quickly. Lower the temperature slightly next time.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCan I add chocolate chips or fruit?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, toss them lightly in flour first so they don\u2019t sink, and don\u2019t add too much or the cake may feel heavy.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHow can I change the flavour without affecting texture?\u00a0<\/strong>Add citrus zest or a small splash of orange blossom water for a fragrant twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOther Desserts to try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nCranberry Cake Recipe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nMoist Raisin Loaf cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nFluffy Moist Lemon Cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nGluten-Free

It\u2019s also a brilliant base for a birthday cake: it slices neatly, stays tender, and works beautifully with all kinds of fillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I often bake it instead of yogurt cake<\/a> whenever there\u2019s no yogurt in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt has that rich \u201call-butter cake\u201d taste, but the milk keeps the crumb even softer and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt home, we love it served with cr\u00e8me anglaise. When I do that, I simply cut back the sugar a little so the flavours stay balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMy best tip: get everything ready in advance and keep your ingredients at room temperature (unless the recipe says otherwise).<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd if you need melted butter, melt it early so it can cool slightly, if it\u2019s too hot, it can scramble the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVanilla cake recipe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIngredients (with helpful notes + cups)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nUsing a 240 ml cup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n225 g self-raising flour (about 1\u00be cups + 2 tbsp)<\/strong>: gives a light, airy crumb.\u00a0If using plain\/all-purpose flour:<\/em> add \u00bd tsp baking powder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n220 g sugar (about 1 cup + 2 tbsp)<\/strong>: for sweetness and a moist texture.\u00a0Tip:<\/em> reduce slightly if serving with custard or frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n125 g butter, melted and cooled slightly (about \u00bd cup + 1 tbsp)<\/strong>: buttery flavour and a tender bite.\u00a0Melt ahead so it\u2019s warm, not hot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n125 ml milk (about \u00bd cup)<\/strong>: keeps the cake soft (less risk of dryness).\u00a0Room temperature helps the batter mix smoothly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n2 eggs<\/strong>: structure + softness.\u00a0Room temperature mixes better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n2 tbsp vanilla extract<\/strong>: the main flavour.\u00a0Adjust to taste depending on strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\u00bd tsp baking powder (only if not using self-raising flour)<\/strong>: helps the cake rise evenly without an aftertaste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nStep-by-step instructions (easy to follow)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nPrepare the pan (20 cm \/ 8-inch)<\/strong>\n\nA springform or removable-base pan<\/strong> makes unmoulding easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\nIf using a regular pan, line it with baking paper<\/strong> (base + sides) to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nPreheat the oven<\/strong>\n\nHeat to 160\u00b0C<\/strong> and place the rack in the middle<\/strong> for even baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nStart the batter<\/strong>\n\nIn a bowl, lightly whisk<\/strong> the eggs and sugar until combined.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd the liquids<\/strong>\n\nStir in the melted butter (cooled slightly)<\/strong>, vanilla, and milk until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd the flour<\/strong>\n\nMix in the self-raising flour (or plain flour + baking powder).<\/li>\n\n\n\nStir only until the batter is uniform<\/strong>\u2014don\u2019t overmix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nBake<\/strong>\n\nPour into the prepared pan, level the top, and bake for about 55 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nCool and unmould<\/strong>\n\nLet it cool for a few minutes<\/strong>, then unmould gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFinish cooling on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTroubleshooting tips (dense, dry, too sweet)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nDense cake:<\/strong> use room-temp ingredients<\/strong>, make sure butter is not hot<\/strong>, and stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together.<\/li>\n\n\n\nDry cake:<\/strong> keep oven at 160\u00b0C<\/strong>, start checking around 50 minutes, and don\u2019t overbake.<\/li>\n\n\n\nToo sweet:<\/strong> reduce sugar by 10-20%<\/strong> if you\u2019re serving it with custard, frosting, or sweet toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nStorage, freezing, and reheating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nRoom temperature:<\/strong> store under a cake dome or in an airtight container for 2-3 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFridge:<\/strong> only if it\u2019s very warm at home (the cake can firm up).<\/li>\n\n\n\nFreezing:<\/strong> slice, wrap well, and freeze up to 2 months<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nReheating:<\/strong> 10-15 seconds in the microwave, or a few minutes in a low oven to bring back softness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nFAQ (the questions readers actually ask)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nCan I use vanilla bean instead of extract?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, scrape the seeds into the sugar or eggs. You can also infuse the pod in the milk, then remove it.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCan I swap part of the sugar for brown sugar?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes. It adds a slight caramel note and a darker colour, often with a slightly moister crumb.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHow do I get a flatter top for layer cakes?\u00a0<\/strong>Bake more gently and evenly (avoid big temperature swings), and keep oven-door opening to a minimum.<\/li>\n\n\n\nWhy did my cake crack on top?\u00a0<\/strong>Usually the oven runs hot or the surface sets too quickly. Lower the temperature slightly next time.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCan I add chocolate chips or fruit?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, toss them lightly in flour first so they don\u2019t sink, and don\u2019t add too much or the cake may feel heavy.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHow can I change the flavour without affecting texture?\u00a0<\/strong>Add citrus zest or a small splash of orange blossom water for a fragrant twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOther Desserts to try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nCranberry Cake Recipe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nMoist Raisin Loaf cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nFluffy Moist Lemon Cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nGluten-Free

It has that rich \u201call-butter cake\u201d taste, but the milk keeps the crumb even softer and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At home, we love it served with cr\u00e8me anglaise. When I do that, I simply cut back the sugar a little so the flavours stay balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My best tip: get everything ready in advance and keep your ingredients at room temperature (unless the recipe says otherwise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if you need melted butter, melt it early so it can cool slightly, if it\u2019s too hot, it can scramble the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n
