Basic Cake Recipe

This basic cake recipe will serve as the basis for many cakes. As an example by adding 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and an extra teaspoon of vanilla you have a good chocolate cake! Add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg & cloves and you have a spice cake. I have also used it for the basis of other cakes that I plan to write about in the future.

Here's the basic recipe:

1-1/2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup oil

Whisk together the dry ingredients
Beat the eggs and add to milk, add the vanilla and mix
Add the milk/egg mixture and oil to the dry mix, mix it well
Pour into greased 9" cake pan

Cook at 375*F for 35-40 min or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean

Enjoy!
