Ingredients
To make this classic yellow cake, you will need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
To make this delicious yellow cake, follow these easy steps:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by lightly greasing them.
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Serving Suggestions
This delicious yellow cake is a classic that can be enjoyed on its own, but it's also great with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a special treat, it can be topped with your favorite frosting or sprinkled with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. This cake also pairs beautifully with a cup of hot tea or a cold glass of milk.
Storage
Once cooled, this cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days. For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. To freeze, wrap the cake in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil and freeze for up to three months. Allow the cake to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Variations
This yellow cake is a classic and it can be enjoyed as is, but there are many variations that can be made. For a more flavorful cake, try adding a teaspoon of almond or lemon extract to the batter. You can also add a cup of fresh or frozen berries to the batter for an added sweetness and texture. Or, try adding a layer of your favorite jam or preserves to the middle of the cake before frosting. For a chocolate version, simply add a cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients and replace the buttermilk with sour cream.
Tips
For the best results, make sure to use room temperature ingredients. This will ensure that everything mixes together evenly and will also help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle. For an added touch of sweetness, try sprinkling a tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top of the cake before baking. This will give it a nice crunchy crust on top. Lastly, be sure to allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to ensure that the frosting won’t melt off.
