Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just a sweet treat after dinner.
Variations
If you want to change things up, you can add different flavors to the cake batter. Try adding lemon zest and juice for a lemon cake, or cocoa powder for a chocolate cake. You can also add different extracts, like almond or coconut, for a unique flavor.
Substitutions
If you don’t have whole milk on hand, you can use 2% or skim milk instead. You can also use margarine instead of butter, but the flavor and texture may be slightly different.
Storage
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few hours.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is softened before adding it to the mixing bowl. This will help it incorporate better with the other ingredients.
- Don’t overmix the batter or the cake may turn out tough. Mix until just combined.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding any frosting or decorations.
Notes
This recipe makes a 9×13 inch cake, but you can easily double it for a larger cake. Just use two cake pans instead of one.
