How to make vanilla cake in bread machine?
For a soft, light and moist cake, all the dry ingredients must be well sifted. Weighing the flour is preferred as there is a chance of adding more flour when using a measuring cup.
I prefer to use oil while making cake since butter solidifies as the cake cools down and makes the cake dense. However, oil can be substituted with butter.
Add the dry and wet ingredients to the bread machine container in the order as per manufacturer's instructions. Some machines require wet ingredients first and some dry.
Bread Machine cycle to make cake
Depending on the bread machine, the "Cake" cycle or "Quick Bread" cycle can be used to make the cake. In some cases the duration of "Cake" cycle may not be enough and extra baking may be required.
How to test if the cake is done?
The best way to ensure that the cake is done is to insert a butter knife or a toothpick at the center of the cake, once the cycle is complete. If it does not come out clean then it needs to be baked for a few more minutes on the "Bake" cycle. Retry inserting the butter knife after
How to remove the cake from bread machine container?
Once the cake cycle or quick bread cycle is done, it is best to let the cake cool down in the container for at least 15-20 minutes.
Removing it sooner can break the cake. Once the cake has cooled down, invert the container to remove the cake.
How do you make cake slices?
Slice the cake with a serrated or an electric knife. Vanilla cake can be enjoyed with or without icing. Here is my buttercream frosting recipe you will love.

hello, what is the function of condensed milk in the cake? can i use vegan condensed milk?

Hi Javiera,
Condensed milk is used for sweetness, flavor, adding moisture and helping bind the cake. You can replace it with vegan condensed milk.
Hope this helps

Deepti says
In your tutti gritty cake you have added 1 cup milk but in your vanilla cake you have added 1 cup water though the recipe is same . Should we add water or milk in vanilla cake.
Alpa Jain says
Hi Deepti,
I use water in the vanilla cake. If you want you can substitute it with half water half milk.
Tutti frutti cake tastes good when made with milk.
Hope this helps.

Sruthi says
Is it alright to add lemon extract instead of vinegar? Also please suggest a recipe for chocolate cake
CulinaryShades says
Hi Sruthi,
I have never tried using lemon extract however, it should work. Vinegar reacts with baking soda to make the cake light and airy.
I do not have a chocolate cake on my site yet but it is on my to do list. You can follow me on Facebook or subscribe via email to receive notification of new recipes.
