VANILLA CAKE
The best "scratch" recipe I have tasted. A cake inspired by Tyler Florence but with a little less sugar & a twist that made a big difference. The cream cheese icing is refreshing.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- Set oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour, baking powder & baking soda, salt & set aside.
- Place milk over medium heat to about 150F (hot but drinkable temp).
- Cream butter, sugar & vanilla until creamy, add egg & beat until combined & light.
- With a ladle or pouring in a thin stream while mixing or whisking, SLOWLY add the milk to butter mix so you don't cook & scramble the egg.
- Add the flour mixture & mix gently until just combined.
- Pour batter into buttered & floured cake pan & bake for 25 to 30 minutes (check with toothpick at 25).
- Cool for 10 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
- When cool, cut cake in half horizontally with serrated knife or bread knife & gently remove the top layer for icing. You can also leave the cake whole & just use icing on top.
- Icing:.
- Combine all ingredients & beat or whisk until well combined, if icing seems too thick & difficult to work with, add half to one teaspoon of milk.
- Spread half on the bottom layer of cake, replace top of cake then spread remainder of icing on top of cake.
- Switch out the Cream Cheese for 5 tablespoons of butter to make a Buttercream Icing.
