Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Butter: It is best to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Using unsalted butter will give you control of the flavoring in the recipe. This will allow the rawest and natural flavor to come out in the recipe.

Brown Sugar: This is great for making adding more moisture to the cake. We all love a moist and more delectable cake, and this ingredient will do just that.

Granulated Sugar: In addition to adding a sweeter flavor to a cake recipe. Granulated sugar caramelizes and absorbs moisture which overall improves the texture and flavor of the cake.

Eggs: You always want to use room-temperature eggs when baking.

Vanilla Extract: Vanilla is used not only to add an aroma to the recipe but also to enhance the flavor as well for a sweeter and more delicious recipe.

Flour: All-purpose flour is best to use.  However, if you are using self-rising flour, you would eliminate the baking soda.

Cornstarch: This is a great ingredient when you want a thicker batter. This will give the cake a more airy and fluffy texture.

Baking Soda: Baking soda will help the cake rise in the oven. This will make your cake light and fluffy.

Vanilla Frosting

Powdered Sugar: This is the best sugar to use when needing a frosting with a smooth consistency.

Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract works best.

Heavy Whipping Cream: This is a great thickening agent for the frosting for a creamier consistency.
