Homemade Vanilla Sheet Cake Ingredients: * 3 cups all-purpose flour * 1½ cups granulated sugar * 3 teaspoons baking powder * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon salt * ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted * 1 cup milk * ¾ cup water * ½ cup vegetable oil * 2 large eggs * 2 tablespoons vanilla extract Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9 × 13-inch baking pan. 2. Sift your flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. 3. In a separate bowl, combine your melted butter, milk, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. 4. Pour your wet ingredients directly into your dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix! 5. Pour your batter into your greased 9 × 13-inch pan and bake for 36–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Every oven is different, so be sure to check a little earlier to ensure you end up with a nice, soft cake. 6. Let the cake rest for 5–10 minutes. Carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack, or leave it in the pan to cool. 7. Once completely cooled, you can wrap the cake in plastic wrap and pop it in the freezer for the next day, or frost it once it is fully chilled. 8. Finish with your favorite vanilla buttercream! Baker’s Tip: Freezing your cake layers can help make them easier to handle and decorate. Just be sure to wrap them securely once cooled.
