25. Easy One-bowl Cake
Mon Feb 12, 2018, 01:56 PM
Feb 2018

Here is one of my favorite cake recipes, so easy. Makes a moist white cake with out worrying about the creaming, separation of the batter, etc. It is for a 3-layer cake, almost too much for a sheet cake in a standard pan, but can make a few cupcakes from the extra batter. This recipes has stood the test of time, I have been making it for years. It is my daughter's favorite cake, especially with the raspberry preserves between the layers.

Jeanette's Easy Buttermilk Cake

2 1/2 plus 6 Tbsp flour 3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup buttermilk
3/4 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt 3 eggs unbeaten
1 2/3 cup sugar

Sift dry ingredients, set aside. In large mixing bowl, stir butter just to soften. Add dry ingredients, add buttermilk and vanilla. Mix till flour is dampened, beat 2 minutes at low speed, add eggs, beat 1 minute longer. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

For better results, use 3 layer cake pans bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Ice with fluffy frosting.

Note: I put raspberry preserves between the layers and make a white cream cheese frosting. Then I cover the frosting with coconut.

Guys, a "full sheet pan" is 26x18", far cry from a "sheet cake". You'll probably need a mix. sir pball Feb 2018 #11

I would never even consider making a full sheet pan. PoindexterOglethorpe Feb 2018 #16
