Super Duper Double Vanilla Cake

Vanilla Cake

Vanilla cake can have the reputation of being bland, or boring. Because vanilla is such a subtle, neutral flavor, it often plays second fiddle to chocolate. Not so with this Super Duper Double Vanilla Cake!

It’s moist, soft, and has a beautiful flavor. No more will Vanilla Cake be on your list of “seldom-makes.” Not only will you make this often, you won’t want to share!

Double Vanilla

So what’s this double vanilla thing all about?

Vanilla Cake AND Vanilla Frosting!

You might think there’s too much vanilla, but I don’t think that’s possible.

Anyway, both the cake and the frosting use Chef Shamy Vanilla Bean Honey Butter. It’s a great butter, with a slight sweetness from the honey, and packed full with REAL vanilla beans. No extract or essence of vanilla here. We use actual vanilla beans, which is what gives both the cake and the frosting so much great flavor.

Baking with Butter

Cakes aren’t really that difficult to make, as long as you measure the ingredients correctly. This can be a little more difficult when using whipped butter.

But don’t worry: here’s a breakdown of Baking with Whipped Butter. Make sure you measure correctly!

Enjoy!
