- With 6M + views on my original video and due to popular demand, I filmed an updated version of the original recipe using half of the ingredients in order to make 1 cake, because the previous recipe is a large one.

=====================
Recipe: Makes 1 x 8" cake
3 eggs (I used large eggs)
1 tsp Vanilla (5ml)
Pinch of salt
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 3/4 cup cake flour (265g) - you can use all purpose but cake flour is preferable
3/4 cup milk (175ml)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (125ml)
1/2 Tbsp Baking powder
⚠️NOTES:
- Using baking strips or damp towels will prevent the cake from staying raw in the middle, having burnt edges, or forming domes.
- You can use melted butter but note that the texture will be more dense when compared with oil based cakes

Ran out of butter and I wanted cake, found this gem of a recipe. It was delicious!
I used avocado oil and substituted 20g of flour for cocoa powder. Perfect choc cake
I am a newbie in baking and I must say I have tried different recipes but this is by far the best. I have had some failed results in the past but when I followed your instructions my cake remained moist and soft even after days in the fridge. My kid loves it so thank you!
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment, i'm really happy to know you all liked this recipe ☺️
No way you commented that I was looking for a recipe that remained moist in the fridge for days after!!!!! I need to give this a try!!
This recipe is a favorite now. thanks so much! my kid wanted cupcakes so i used my 6-cupcake pan and the rest of the mix went into a 6-inch squared pan (it was a thinner cake but perfect). both cooked in 20min at the same time.
So glad to hear that! Enjoy❤️
@@ButtercutBakery why do you need to use a wet towel?
Woooow super soft very delicious recipe thanks for sharing such a nice Recipe 👍👍👍👍👌👍👌
Tried it today and it turned out amazing!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I'm so happy to hear this! Enjoy!
Thankyou for being sincere
I made this cake and i dont have words to explain how awesome it turned out
Everyone loved it
Idk what it was in this video that hyped me up to bake after a long time of burning cakes i was looking for a genuine recipe and i found this
Thankyou very much
Your sincerity with sharing your passion will return loads of blessings onto you and your family.
May you go forward with shining success ❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind comment! It really made my day and I was happy to heat that you enjoyed this cake with your family ❤️❤️
I tried your recipe this evening and the cake came out so soft, fluffy and nice. It's my first time trying out an oil based vanilla recipe. Thank you
I’m so glad to hear you liked this recipe! 🥰🥰
Enjoy!!
Thanks for sharing the updated version with us.tryin this out soon
My pleasure!
I've tried it yesterday and made cupcakes. 24 ! And they were perfect ! Moist and super tasty. Thank you very much 🙏❤️ Greetings from France ! 😁
I am so glad you liked it!! ❤️❤️
Simply amazing made this today and this was amazing. My family loved it and it wasnt too sweet nor too bitter and this is the best recipe yet on vanilla cakes definitely using it again. I didn't have vanilla extract so I substituted it for honey ty for this and stay safe😋
Glad you liked it!!
I have been struggling with making the perfect cake but following your method worked for me the best, Hands down best channel I found.
Thank you and enjoy the holiday :)
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Enjoy the holiday! 🥰🥰
Just made it and it was soooo great. Thank you for this recipe.
Hope you enjoy!
I use the other one for a big cake and they turn out so well, I will try this one too. Thanks for the video
You're welcome 😊
Can the other recipe do 2 8'' inch cakes?
I am absolutely in love with this recipe. I am never going back to those butter based cakes ever again. I did the cake exactly like in the recipe and it turned out super delicious and moist. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to hear this❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou soooo much for the recipe!!! People... This works like a charm. Take my word. I have tried 9+ recipes on vanilla cakes and nothingggggg is as amazing as this. If you are looking for a fool proof recipe, make this!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
Good morning thank you for the halved ingredients , have a blessed day
Good morning! Glad you found this helpful 💕💕
Lo hice y me quedo super Rico y esponjoso, perfecto, big thanks 😊
💖💖💖
I have made this recipe over and over and again. And it is always delicious and fluffy. It is now my number one vanilla cake recipe. Thank you so much for sharing 👍
So happy you like this recipe ☺️❤️
I tried this recipe today and it turned out amazing! I have never used cake flour before so I made one cake with all purpose flour and one with cake flour to see the difference. I also loved how the recipe doesn’t use butter. Creaming sugar and butter is the bain of my existence and I can never get it just right. This cake kind of had a pound cake feel to it and I love that! Will be making this again for sure!
So glad you liked it!!
Buttercut Bakery Just a question…how long do you usually whip your eggs till they get foamy? Im worried I might overwhip them (if thats a thing!)
In your opinion Which was better all purpose or cake flour?
Arima Babe cake flour!
@@lindseymobley8440 hi, was the cake with all purpose flour still good?
This is best Vanila cake recipe I’ve made. Thank you so much 😘
Glad you like it Sofia!
Beautiful and delicious cake. It went in a day by just two people. Keep going.
Greetings from London.
I absolutely love this recipe!! Made a cream cheese and raspberry cake out of this and it was perfect! But would I be able to use this same batter for cupcakes?
I’m so glad to hear that! Yes, this works for cupcakes as well ☺️
Ok I've decided imma make this one instead as the other one was too much cant wait to see how it comes out 🙃🙃
Hope it turns out well!
LOVED IT!!! Easyyyyy and the cake is soft and delicious 👌🏻❤❤❤❤
Glad you like it!! 🥰🥰❤️❤️
I’m cooking it now looks delicious your the best cook
Hope you enjoy!
Hey! Love your video! Thank you for sharing! Also, what temperature do u suggest putting you oven on for when baking CUPCAKES, And how long should the cupcakes be in the oven for this recipe? I find my cupcakes brown on the bottom so quick. I am still learning how my oven works.
Hi! Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰 I bake cupcakes at 160C for 18-20 minutes. Don’t place them close to the bottom heat source, you’d want to place them on the middle rack! Let me know how it goes☺️☺️
Thank you! I will definately let you know!
I just tested this one out, I'm suprised at how good it turned out. I made this in a loaf tin & added orange extract aswell as vanilla & once out the oven covered in lemon drizzle icing. Was brilliant🤤😋
Great to hear! Sounds yummy!
Enjoy!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
smart
One of the best recipes i have ever tried!
RECOMMENDED!! ❤
ur soo right
Omg thank you so much, the cake was amazing, just perfect 👌
Glad you liked it!!
Looks delicious #SaveSoil ♡
I tried this recipe and it turned out perfect. I prefer this over the butter based ones.
Great to hear!❤️❤️
Thank you for this! I was just wondering if there is a difference in taste or quality between this recipe and your original one?
Hi! There isn’t really much of a difference, this recipe was made because many people were confused on how to cut the original recipe in half. Also, i added the sat and vanilla at the beginning to avoid any eggy smell. And finally, skipped the long resting phase because it was something that confused people and it was optional ☺️☺️
Used this recipe and I was waooed.... Thank u for sharing.
My pleasure! Enjoy ❤️
Tried the recipe and I love it.
So glad!
My mom would kill me if I made a cake rn at 8:00 pm 😂 but I might anyway
Hi Sophia! How did it turn out? 😅
I would kill for one of my kids to make a cake. How funny is that??😍🤣
SAME
@@angelika77st I'm 12 and I wanna make one for my mom
Brow 8pm???
I c u want to die😒
Heaven sent! Thank uuu :))
Enjoy!
i was looking for your recipe for only one cake and im sooo happy i found this.
Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for the recipe. Love your cakes. Is this sturdy enough to be covered with fondant?
I’m glad you do! Yes absolutely 🥰
Thank you so much for this recipe. I usually spoon a couple tablespoons of simple syrup on my layers before frosting. Should I omit that with this recipe? Thanks again😊
Hi there! This is exactly what I do ☺️ I love adding simple syrup to my cakes!
Thank you so much for the recipe, this is just perfect 🙏 I have a big family and with the recipe with 5 eggs, everybody can have more than one piece of cake 😁 Today, I've replaced 50g of flour by cocoa and this chocolate version was delicious. Greetings from France, merci !!
Hi! I am so happy you liked this recipe, adding coco powder is a great choice too! I'm working on some new chocolate recipes that are very rich so I hope you'll like them as well! Bon weekend!☺️☺️

Just a question..did you use unsweetened cocoa powder or sweetened?
@@lindseymobley8440 unsweetened 😊
Hey
So you only used 5 eggs instead of 3? You didn't use more of other ingredients?
I have s big family too
Good day, I tried this recipe, excellent texture & very tasty, added 1/2 tsp lemon rind , thank you
Glad you liked it☺️☺️
Wow this actually turned out really well
I'm so glad to hear this!
I was looking at the original one. It is so yummy 😋 but yeah too big for just one person 😄 thanks for uploading this one
My pleasure! Yes the original one is a big recipe😅
I was literally just looking at the original video😂 Thanks for the update❤
My pleasure 😅 hope this one is helpful!
I need to make a bigger cake so I'll be following the first one. Hopefully I'll have enough frosting left over then I can make a smaller version to keep for my family🤗
@@markieadixon4698 how did the cake taste
Lmao same
Hello you guys sorry for the wait. It turned out well and is definitely my new go to for vanilla layers! It is definitely sturdy and fluffy. Be sure not to over mix and you should be fine. Good luck!
I tried this recipe for my father's birthday. it turned out so good.. fluffy and delicious. So light. Just the way i want it. Thank you. I will make this again soon
Glad you liked it! Happy birthday!
Thank you
Thanks for your wonderful recipe I did it for my mom on her birthday and she liked is
Wonderful! Happy birthday!
Stop what you are doing - and try this recipe right now! This is the best cake I have ever made - full stop!
Thank you so much for your comment! So glad you liked this recipe 🥰🥰
I agree best cakes eveeerr!
hi☺️making a cake for my dads birthday, how does it affect the cake if I don’t use a towel? (tbh im scared of it catching fire😭😂)
Hi! The damp towels wont catch fire as long as they dont touch the heat surface, you can place your pan on a tray to be more sure! Towels will help the cake bake slower which will result in no raw middles, no domes, and no burnt edges ☺️☺️ Also happy birthday to your dad!
I didn't like the last vanilla recipe I used, so I decided I'm going to change it up. I came to youtube and saw this video and so I tried this recipe since night, and it was delicious and soft, thank you so much. I put a bit less sugar thou, which I tend to do with most if not all my cakes 💕.
Great to hear you liked this recipe! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Hey y'all cakes 🎂is my favorite so I will definitely try this one👍
Hope you enjoy! 🥰🥰
Okay 👍
Im the first lots of ❤ from Sri Lanka
Hello! ❤️❤️
So strange, not sure what happened but my cake was a fail. So dense, and it warped at the bottom. I followed entire recipe, and the only thing that I I couldn’t was the oven temp. Mine didn’t go to 329, had to set at 330
Edit: realized my baking powder measurement was off. Trying recipe again today and in a diff pan 🙏🏽..forgot to add salt in the beginning, so I added it at the end. Hopefully all goes well. Halp 😅 🙏🏽
How did it turn out?
Tell us what happened to it I am curious
Thx so much for the recipe
My pleasure 😊
I made this today and it was amazing, it's so fluffy and yummy, thanks :D
So glad you liked it!
This looks so good! Cant wait to try it. Can you bake it as a taller cake? I need to make a 3"/7.5cm high cake
I know some recipes that have a lot of liquid in it dont bake well as higher cakes.
Hi there! Thank you for you comment!
I does although I don't bake tall cakes because they tend to dry so I prefer baking small layers and stacking them. But that's just me, if you prefer thick layers feel free to do that ☺️
I made this cake and everyone loved it.made cupcakes.thank you for the recipe
Hi Asmau! So glad you liked this recipe! Enjoy ❤️
I tried this recipe, never thought that an oil based cake would be that tasty 😋! Thanks for the recipe, you have a New suscriber. Psd. I follow the rest step and i got no bubbles on my cake😎. Gracias🥰
Hi! Thank you for subscribing! I’m so glad you liked this recipe❤️❤️
Which measurements did you use?
This looks so good and easy! 😍 Thank you do much for sharing your recipe! I will definitely try to make this for my cousin's graduation day! Although I'm planning to color the batter, I was wondering if it will still turn out good?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment 😊 yes you can add colour to the batter! I hope it turns out good!
@@ButtercutBakery good to hear! Thank you so much!
Hi, it looks so good and yummy. Can I use any cooking oil or does it have to be vegetable oil?
Hi! You can use canola, sunflower...
I made this cake today and it was so good!!
Enjoy!!
I Have used your recipe TWICE now. Thank you so much. Not too sweet either.
So glad you like it!!
Thank you for sharing your recipe maam..❤❤❤
Most welcome ❤️
Im going to try this!!❤
Hope you like it! 💕
❤❤delicious thank you for posting ❤❤
Thank you! 💕💕
yesssss I'm trying this tomorrow, I didn't have enough products for your other one.
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you! This looks amazing! Since this makes one 8 in cake. Can you double this, bake two 8 inches and torte for 4 layers w/out issue? Or just use this 1 recipe and bake two 6 in cakes and torte to 4 layers? Thanks very much! :)
You can absolutely double this recipe so yes 🥰🥰
So I tried the recipe using
vegetable oil only
Melted butter only
Vegetable oil and Melted butter
They all came out lovely.
Thanks so much
I’m glad you liked it! Enjoy!
This recipe looks delicious, I’m definitely going to try it! If I need to cake for 50 (I suppose I will need at least two tiers), what pans size do you think I should do? How can I calculate how much batter do I need? Thank you!!
Thank you! I would recommend following the original recipe which is x2 this one if you need a big cake. This one makes 1 x 8inch pan which would roughly feed 15 people ☺️
New subscriber and self teaching myself and its looking good.. 👌 💯
Hi Marjury! Hope you'll be able to learn a lot from this channel and that it will be helpful to you!
OMG this cake is the best i just baked mine now and it was super tasty🤗
Hi Fatima! So glad you like this recipe and sorry for the delay in replying to you. Have a nice day!
@@ButtercutBakery i feel loved🥰
I am definitely gonna try this for my mommy birthday ❤🥰🥳🥳👍😋
Happy birthday!! 💗💗
Hi! Could I use Canola oil instead of vegetable oil? Really excited to try this recipe!
Yes! 🥰
when ever I want to make a cake I watch this 😁
I love this recipe! What would be the measurements for 3 high 6 inch cakes?
Thanks! I would refer to the original one as it is double this one ☺️
Thank you so much for this, I've read online that although veg oil helps with moistness, butter adds a richer taste to the cake, is this true? I'm unsure of which method to go with :(
It does add richness but with butter cakes are more dense which is something i do not like ☺️
Wow.... The cake is yummy 😋
Thank you!
U welcome dear 😍
So delicious
Thank you!
I made this today and omg everyone lovedddddd it 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️
I just put it in the oven, can't stop eating the left over mixture 🥰😋
😍😍
Hey! I'm gonna definitely try this recipe tomorrow but i need some decorating ideas. Can you pls tell me the best frosting for this cake? And should it be soaked with simple syrup? I'll review as soon as i make it!
I always use simple syrup. My favourite icing is the swiss meringue buttercream, i have my recipe listed on my channel😊
@@ButtercutBakery thank you so much I'll try it today!
Omg! I tried it and it was amazing! Everyone in my family loved it! I just have a doubt. My cake tasted awesome but the consistency was a bit hard so i drizzled a lot of syrup. Why did that happen?
Hi.. this recipe looks amazing.. is it possible to use the same recipe for a square mould
Hi there! Yes absolutely! ☺️☺️
hiya I love your recipe I'm trying it for the first time today, do you have to use an electric mixer? I don't have one
Hi there! You don’t, but you’re gonna have a good workout while mixing the eggs and sugar 😄
Should i allow the batter to rest before baking? 🤗
Beautiful cake. You should be a hand model! 😊
Thank you ☺️
Hi, thanks for the recipe!🤗 I noticed you didn't put the batter in the fridge like the original version. So should we not put it in the fridge?
Hi Sarah! It’s totally optional and I put it in the fridge because I like to allow my batter to rest before baking to prevent bubbles. The fridge is only because where I’m from it tends to get super hot 🥰
hii! could i ask how long to bake it for a 4 inch tin that has 1.5inch of batter inside?
Can I use a 8x8 glass square to bake cake ? annd if so how long , what temperature...Thank you so much, made it just now very good.
Yes! I would bake at the same temperature until golden brown on top ☺️
HI! I love your cake recipe its my families fav but i did have a problem when i sliced my cake in half there are big holes in it is there anyway for me to prevent that from happening again?
Hi there! Sorry for the delay and I'm so glad to hear you like my recipes. To prevent air bubbles it's always good to never over-mix, allow the batter to rest, and tap the pan before baking ☺️ Hope this helps!
Thankiu for the recipe! It looks very sponge, I will definitely try it. I have a question , if I'm going to use all purpose flour, do I need to add more baking powder or the 1/2 is enough? Thanx. 😁
Thank you! You should use the same amount of baking powder ☺️
@@ButtercutBakery thanx for the quick response 😁
If i am using vanilla pods, would I use a full pod in this recipe? And also if I make it in 2 6 inch pans instead would it cook on the same temperature? Thank you for updating this recipe. I was actually about to bake the large one today and watched the video just to remind myself of the method and I saw the update for the smaller cake. I will definitely be making this one now.
Hi! Sorry I'm late to your comment. Usually 6inch pans take 40 minutes and 8inch about 45minutes.
For the vanilla pods I'm not sure maybe half? or to taste! I hope i was helpful ❤️ Enjoy!
@@ButtercutBakery thank you. This was so helpful. I used half a pod and it was the perfect amount. The cake was delicious 😋😋❤️❤️
Hi would u recommend using the parchment paper around the sides like you did in the original Recipe video ?
Hi! Totally optional to use them, if you have non-stick pans you should be good without them (make sure you check out my video on how I prep my pans, the recipe I use for that is super good!!)
Also, the parchment paper can help add height to the pan, so if you don’t need that, save the paper 😊
Hope this helps!
Me encato tu receta la voy hacer por que la mayoria delos videos es de tres leches y yo lo quiero que no lleve las tres leches este me sorve verdad? Gracias
I was trying to figure out how to half the original recipe, then I find this video. Thank you! I’ll be trying it today 👏🏻 I don’t have vegetable oil so I’ll be using olive oil I think, or coconut oil. Which do you recommend as a replacement?
Hi! Glad you found this video! I would recommend using butter honestly. Coconut oil could work but definitely not olive. Also, the texture will differ slightly. Enjoy!
i’m not sure what happened but my cake didn’t cook from middle followed exact recipe and temperature how to fix it
can you use vegetable oil for the cake pan like you did on your large cake recipe
Yes absolutely but you'll have to line the pan with parchment paper or dust it with flour to prevent stickiness ☺️
The best 😍😍
Thank you 🥰🥰
Since I don’t have vegetable oil, do you think I should my sunflower oil or my butter as an alternative? Thank you!!! Love your cakes
Thank you! 🥰 You can use either 😊 butter will give a more dense texture but rich
@@ButtercutBakery thank you!! You’re so nice!!
Thank u darling for this recipe🥰🥰🥰🥰
Pls you said yes to the use of butter..do I Av to melt the butter so as to make it runny like oil??????
Looks delicious 👌🏻😋 Have a wonderful day 🌻
Thank you! You too❤️
Hi it's narges form Iran
Thank you soooooo much for this amazing recipe...but I have a question can I use this for double layer cake??
Hi Narges! Yes of course this recipe can be layered 😊😊
Can we do carving with this cake? Will it be firm enough holding the shape?
I would substitute oil with butter to get a more dense texture ☺️
Hi from mauritius i have make it is good and i have make cup cake also it is so delicious
Is it fine if I fold the flour by hand instead as I’ve heard that over mixing the batter can cause your cake not to rise properly?
Yes absolutely! This is why I set my mixer on the lowest setting when adding flour!
