This vanilla cake recipe is great for all occasions and easy to make. It's the best cake I have ever made! It's not too bland, and it's not too sweet. Slice the cooled cake through the middle to make two layers and frost as desired.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes to an hour. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake carefully onto a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
