Recipe

We all need a classic vanilla cake recipe... Whether to serve as is or as the basis for a more elaborate recipe! This recipe is THE vanilla cake for you and you will then decline it in a thousand ways. It is as soft as you want and has a good vanilla smell from old-fashioned cakes. It is fragrant, easy to remove and not too crumbly, which makes it perfect in all circumstances!

You can bake this vanilla cake in a round mold or in a cake mold according to your needs, or even in more original molds. Vanilla cake is one of the favourites of children but also of adults. It is ideal at the end of a meal or as a small snack. For a birthday, add a frosting and multicoloured vermicelli, and you're done!

For a chocolate version, simply add a hundred grams of chips directly into the dough before baking. For a more flavoured version, sugar can be replaced by brown or brown sugar and flour by semi-full flour.

If possible, extend the infusion time of the vanilla. 15 minutes is a minimum for it to diffuse its aromas but it will continue to develop its fragrance if you extend this infusion time further.
