My very best Vanilla Cake

This is my best vanilla cake recipe. Soft and plush with a beautiful vanilla flavour and stays perfectly fresh for 4 whole days! It brings together fluffiness of Japanese cotton cakes with butteriness of Western butter cakes, plus an age old bakers' trick for extra moistness to create the ultimate, classic sponge cake.

Fluffier, more tender and less greasy than the typical yellow cakes, much more moist than traditional sponge cakes!

I made this cake, and will never look back. Truly the best vanilla cake I’ve ever had! It is super moist and delicious. I made it with your “secret, less-sweet chocolate frosting” and it was an amazing combination. I’m in love with both the cake and frosting.❤
