Simple Delicious Vanilla Cake

Preheat Oven to 305 degrees Fahrenheit You will bake your cake in the middle rack Materials Oven mitts Measuring spoons Measuring cups Round Baking pan (I’m using a 9x10 inches baking pan) Rubber spatulas Three mixing bowls A stand or electric mixer with a whisk attachment Ingredients 2 tablespoons of butter or vegetable spray 8 eggs 10 tablespoons flour ( if eggs are large use 12-14 tablespoons of flour) 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons vanilla (I’m using powder but you can use liquid vanilla extract) 2 teaspoons baking powder Pinch of salt ½ cup Nutella ½ cup sweet shredded coconut Note: basically, the number of eggs you use add +2 of flour. For example if you have 6 eggs you would use 8 tablespoons of flour and if you had 10 ten eggs you would use 12 tablespoons of flour. This is the rule of thumb with this recipe, and again if the eggs are large just add 2-4 tablespoons extra that way your cake isn’t too runny but just perfect, soft and spongy Method: Separate the eggs, place the egg whites in a bowl and the egg yolks in another. Beat the Egg whites with a pinch of salt, and when they begin to foam add the granulated sugar and continue beating in high speed until the egg whites are fluffy with a thick consistency Add the egg yolks and the oil and continue beating on medium high speed (taking care to scraping the edges of the bowl every now and then to avoid lumps) Add the vanilla and continue mixing on low speed In a small bowl mix together the baking powder with 2 tablespoons of your flour. Pour this flour and baking powder mixture into your batter ( doing this will help your cake rise better ) After that gets mixed in, slowly add your flour into the mixer and beat it at a low speed first, once it begins to get incorporated mix it on medium speed and after 3 min stop and scrape down the edges and the bottom very well to avoid a lumpy batter Mix it for another 2 min on high speed then pour your batter on your greased pan and bake it for 50-55 minutes. Depending on several factors that come into play, yours might bake at slightly shorter or slightly longer time and that is perfectly fine kiki emoticon Keep checking on your cake every now and then and after 45 min, poke it gently with a toothpick then check back on it every 5 min after that if it’s still wet. Once the toothpick comes out bone dry, leave it cool on a cooling rack for ten minutes ** Without removing it from the pan** Then an additional 10-15 minutes on the cooling rack before you decorate it! I made a mistake: heat the Nutella for 15 Seconds NOT minutes tongue emoticon (sorry for the typo) I used Nutella and shredded coconuts, but you really can use anything you like, any chocolate syrup or any kind of icing that you like or jam and as for topping that is optional as well, you can add sprinkles, or fruits or any kind of nuts and you can cut it in half after it cools and add any desired filling as well. You can eat it warm or room temperature or even refrigerated. The awesome thing about this recipe is that it is such an easy cake and you can really customize it any way you love kiki emoticon Happy baking & stay blessed!
