Loading ...I’m in the midst of planning/cooking for my son’s birthday party this weekend, so I thought I’d share the cupcakes I was making… These tasted wonderful, although the texture is so light, I think they’d work better for an actual cake than for cupcakes. According to my mom, this is the recipe she used when she made my birthday cakes as a kid! Seriously, making a cake is easy — don’t feel like you have to use a mix!
Best Two-Egg Cake
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened
- 1 1/2 c sugar
- 1 teas vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 c sifted flour
- 2 1/2 teas baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 c +2 tbsp milk
Stir butter to soften, gradually add sugar and cream thoroughly (12-15 min at med hi on mixer). Add vanilla. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each. Sift flour with baking powder and salt, add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating after each addition. Line your pans with a round of parchment paper or wax paper. Pour into pans (My recipe says to do 4 thin layers using 4 9″ in pans). Bake in 375 degree oven about 16 min (use toothpick test).

I have been looking for a recipe like this one for a long time! I used to make a similar cake years ago and somehow lost the recipe – ARGH! A little easy and simple cake like this is perfect topped with luscious summer berries. Thank you! Thank you!
So glad to hear this helped, Pam!
