Have googled for this one and not sure that I know what I am asking for . These show up at local bake sales frequently and are called vanilla cakes. Anyone who can clue me in? Thanks in advance. Would prefer one that fits an 8" pan.
To me, it looked like a plain layer cake, ... did not buy it when I saw it, but there were several at this bake sale and all called "vanilla cake". Vanilla is such a pleasant flavor, and because of the number of cakes there, I thought this cake might be one of those "comfort cakes" that I knew nothing about! They all were single layer cakes at the bake sale. Googling came up with big cakes. They were frosted with what looked like either a cream cheese frosting or plain white frosting.
I found this one. You bake it in layer pans. You could bake the layers and then freeze the other for later use. It was frosted with buttercream. You can go to that link and see the buttercream recipe. It is the cooked buttercream so that is why I didn't copy it. I use Wilton's buttercream recipe that you can find at the Wilton.com site.
Try this one. It is very good and moist. Pretty simple to make.
Vanilla Wafer Cake
2 ea Margarine sticks
6 ea Eggs
1/2 c Milk
2 c Sugar
1 ea 12 oz. vanilla wafers, crush
1 c Pecans, chopped
In a large mixing bowl cream margarine and sugar. Blend in eggs. Add alternately vanilla wafers and milk. Fold in pecans. Bake in a greased and floured tube pan 1 hour and 15 minutes at 325 degrees F.
Note: We put the vanilla wafers in a food processor and make crumbs of them. They will be a little finer this way.
