"When I was looking at the instructions for this recipe, it did not say what size loaf pan to use. I used an 8 X 4 inch loaf pan and this seemed to small. Next time I will try a larger loaf pan or a 9 inch square pan. I used a large lemon for this recipe and also used a little lemon extract to add a little more flavor to the batter. And for the glaze I simply used the 1 1/3 cups of powdered sugar, milk and added lemon extract and mixed to spreading consistency. This is a wonderful cake that is light, moist and tastes delightful."

"Unfortunately, I can not pull up the recipe. The link that says "click for recipe" goes straight to some kind of ad with no other way to move on except close it. That takes you right back where you were with no recipe directions. How do I get to the actual recipe with directions?"

"I make this and also other variations quite often. As far as the nuts go ...leave them out .. no problem, using pretzels .... they will draw moisture from the fruit...so will not be crispy. The topping does not CHANGE the flavor for sure, so try mini marshmallows ... maybe last 15 min. of bake time. Experiment with others ... this is how recipes are created. Good Luck and (I know you will) ENJOY!!!"

"This made from scratch Basic Vanilla Cake Recipe is a one that must be added to your repertoire. It’s light, tender, and full of vanilla flavor. The great thing about this recipe is it can be made in two 9-inch pans, three 8-inch pans, or two 12-cup muffin pans. It’s versatile and pairs wonderfully with a wide range of fillings and frostings. The batter can even be enhanced with other extract flavors, like almond! Whip up this cake the next time you have a craving and I promise you won’t be disappointed!"

This cake looks delicious. Cheryl Y - I never realized that egg yolks add a slightly yellow tone to the cake. How interesting!

I love this recipe for the Basic Vanilla Cake, It sounds a lot like the recipe I have been using for years. For a true white cake use only egg whites and no yolks. The yolks will give a slight yellow huge. I use pure vanilla and the flavor is tops. Every that has had this cake loves it, some even ask what box cake mix I use? I find this better because you know what is in the mix and it's so much better for you. I should also add that the eggs and butter work best at room temperature. Makes for a lighter fluffier cake. Thank you for sharing this free cake recipe.
