Vanilla Cake Layers

This recipe is by far one of my favorites for layering cakes! The layers are stable enough to be stacked yet have the fluffiest texture!

Here is a naked peach cake I made using this recipe. This rustic peach cake is basically made up of 3 decadent layers of vanilla cake rounds, peach jam and the lightest whipped cream !

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp Vanilla

• 1/2 tsp Salt

• 1 tbsp Lemon zest

• 1/2 cup Oil

• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 2 cups sugar

• 4 eggs

• 200g sour cream

• 2 1/2 cup flour

Directions:

1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix in the oil, sour cream ,eggs ,sugar ,lemon zest, salt and vanilla until they are fully combined.

2. In another bowl, mix the baking soda , baking powder, and flour together.

3. Add your dry mix into the wet ingredients and mix until the flour is no longer visible.

4. Grease your cake pans with a little butter or line your baking pans with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking

5. Proceed to pour your batter into your desired cake pans. (avoid filling your pans too much since the cake will rise during baking)

6. Bake for 20 min at 180°C then 15 min at 150°C or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

7. When the cakes are out allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pans.

8. Let the cakes fully cool down at room temperature then at least 1 hour in the fridge before layering/stacking them.

9. Bon Appétit!
