Best White Cake

My Mom makes the best cakes in the world! They are delicious, beautiful, moist, and always have a wonderful ganache between layers. (She uses boxed cake mixes.... they're just less dense than something from scratch!)
But, since moving to Koper (goodbye, boxed cake mixes!!), I've experimented with several home-made cakes....and this is the best one! I found this recipe online but the website is no longer up.

*the secret to a GREAT cake is to freeze it overnight... it makes it so moist!*

White Cake

- 1/2 cup butter 

- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla 
- 1 1/4 cups milk

- 2 cups flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Heat oven to 350F. 

2. Mix butter eggs, sugar, vanilla, and milk. 

3. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir into the wet ingredients.

4. Pour into a well-greased 9x12 pan and bake for 40 minutes.

After removing the cake from the pan, I cut it neatly in half.... so you can have a 2-layer cake. Then wrap in foil or wax paper and freeze for at least 12 hours.

Top with a buttercream frosting (vanilla, milk, butter, powdered sugar).

(obviously I like to garnish with grated chocolate/white chocolate, then cookies or strawberries. Another decorating idea from my Mom!)
