EASY ONE BOWL YELLOW CAKE

I usually frost the cake right in the pan but you can double this recipe using two cake pans for a double-layer cake. Only line the pan with parchment if you plan to remove the cake from the pan. It's best to have all your ingredients at room temperature and I highly recommend using a cake strip. Be sure to aerate your flour before measuring.- Jenny Jones

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup sugar (the recipe also works using 2/3 cup sugar)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk (low fat or whole milk)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Grease an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan.
  • With an electric mixer on high, beat sugar, eggs, & vanilla for one minute to thicken.
  • On low speed add remaining ingredients (in the order listed) but do not over-mix. This should take less than a minute.
  • Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I like to frost it with my 2-minute chocolate frosting.

A tender yellow cake. Sure to be a hit. It's a wonderful one bowl cake. Gotta love those recipes. The recipe comes out of a McCall's book published 100 years ago in 1910. Enjoy! My photos

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cup(s) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, sifted after measuring
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
1 cup(s) milk
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 - eggs
FROSTING I USE
2 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 tablespoon(s) sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans. In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Add butter, milk and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, occasionally scraping sides of bowl.
  • Add eggs, beat for 3 more minutes. I also started adding a few drops of yellow food coloring, just an option...gives it a bit more yellow hue...
  • Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing equally among both.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Turn out and cool thoroughly on wire racks.I frosted with whip cream frosting. If using whip cream frosting the cake must be refrigerated. You can use chocolate frosting, which is usually the frosting of choice for yellow cake. I just wanted to be able to taste the moist cake, not just frosting.
