This recipe is genuinely the easiest cake I’ve ever made. Not only that, but with its outstanding vanilla flavor, delectably soft crumb, and super moist texture, it’s not just simple but delicious too!

I’ve been on a mission to make life easier for anyone short on time. I know many people who would like to bake but don’t because dragging out the mixer and tracking down ingredients is just too much trouble. This easy recipe requires nothing more than mixing bowls and a whisk. That’s it! Dessert couldn’t be simpler!

To make your own buttermilk for this recipe, add ¾ tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to ¾ cups of milk (full fat is best, but low fat or skim will work). Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. The mixture may be a little curdled, but that’s just fine.

This recipe makes a 9×13 in cake, two 8-inch rounds, two 9-inch rounds, or 24-36 cupcakes. See the recipe notes for baking times.

To Freeze: This cake freezes beautifully. Leave the unfrosted cake in the pan, cover with plastic wrap, then a layer of foil, and freeze for up to a month.
