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.

Sweet Potato Cranberry Bake
My father's mother made this every year for our Thanksgiving dinner. It is not Thanksgiving to me without this dish. I do not like the tartness of most cranberry dishes, and sweet potatoes can be bland by themselves. This dish combines both to make a great all-in-one dish. When I take this dish to another person's home, I bake the first time and add the yams, cover, and then wait to heat until I am at their house.
