Vanilla Cake is a soft, simple, and cozy dessert made with everyday baking ingredients. Butter, sugar, eggs, plain yogurt, and vanilla come together to create a tender cake with a light crumb and classic homemade flavor.

A little vegetable oil helps keep it moist, while the yogurt adds softness without making the recipe feel heavy. Baked in an 8x8 inch pan, it is easy to slice into neat squares for family treats, afternoon tea, birthdays, or casual gatherings.

A sweet powdered sugar icing drizzle gives the cake a pretty finish without needing any complicated decorating. Just mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk until smooth, pour it over the cooled cake, and let it set slightly before serving.

Simple, budget-friendly, and kid-friendly, this vanilla cake is perfect when you want a quick homemade dessert that feels comforting but still easy enough for everyday baking.

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Grease or line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy.
  3. Add the vegetable oil and mix well. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and plain yogurt.
  4. Sift in the plain flour and baking powder. Gently fold everything together until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the top. Bake for 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely before adding the icing.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Adjust the milk slowly until you get a thick but pourable consistency.
  8. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake. Let it set slightly, then slice and serve.
