Perfect Vanilla Cake

I shared my full Vanilla, Passion Fruit and Raspberry cake recipes (featured on Duff Till Dawn) with you not too long ago. But I wanted to give the vanilla cake I had worked so long on formulating its own post. It’s kinda special like that. Like your favorite child. Oh, wait. We don’t have those as parents. They are ALL special and equally loved. Accepted. Tolerated… 😉

Finding that every time I wanted to make my vanilla cake I didn’t have the cake flour on hand that it called for, I wanted a GREAT scratch recipe that produced the same results as cake flour recipes – just with all purpose flour.

Using all-purpose flour for the full recipe (rather than half and half) never gave me the results desired. So I tweaked, changed this and that, tried a few things and came up with possibly the best EVER vanilla cake. No cake flour needed (our friends overseas will appreciate this!). Without further adieu, some tempting pics and the recipe. (Just scroll to the bottom if you want to get right at this PERFECT vanilla cake recipe 🙂 )

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup Flour
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Shortening Crisco or Trex

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix 'em all together in your mixer till they are light and fluffy.
2. Store in an airtight container in your cupboard. There are no perishable ingredients in this and you do not need to refrigerate it. In fact, refrigerating will make it firm and unspreadable. Using a pastry brush, coat you pans and enjoy the results 🙂
