This is the easiest and quickest basic vanilla cake you could bake. You should have all the ingredients on hand most of the time.
This vanilla cake is plain and simple recipe but can be so versatile by adding fruits, chocolate chips, different flavors such as lemon, orange or cinnamon ...etc
You can serve it with ice cream or whipped cream and fresh fruits.
You can also add dried fruits and tweak the recipe a little like I did here with the fruit cake recipe here.
