Every baker needs a classic vanilla layer cake in their recipe box, one with a creamy frosting that's just begging for sprinkles. The perfect vanilla layer cake should be fragrant with vanilla and great flavor. It should also have enough structure to stack and layer, while also remaining moist and light. This from-scratch version, featuring Gold Medal™ All Purpose Flour, ticks all the boxes and is as easy as it is delicious. Melted butter saves those of us who always forget to soften the butter and, in combination with a little oil, makes for a moist cake with a velvety crumb that is great for stacking while remaining tender.
