Any home made cake recipe's?!


Question: Any home made cake recipe's?
I want to make a cake but I can not go to the store to buy some cake mix, or buy a cake.
I do not have any ingredients for flavoring so it would be great if I could get some flavor ideas with ingredients that most people would have lying around in their houseAlso, do I have to add vanilla extract to have a vanilla flavor?! PLEASE AND THANK YOU A BUNCH!

Answers:

White cake

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 whole eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons whole milk
1 cup of your favorite frosting, optional
8 ounces fresh berries, picked over, rinsed and dried, optional

Method
Preheat oven to 350°
Grease and flour a 9 x 9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

Frost as desired. Arrange berries over top of cake

Cake Tip: For a cake bottom that is as moist at the frosting-covered top, turn the cake out of the pan once it has cooled. Put the cake back in the pan upside-down. Now the moist cake top will be on the bottom, and the bottom of the cake, which can be dry, will be on top and covered with delicious moist frosting.



You do not need baking powder. Use self-rising flour, it contains baking powder and salt. Eliminate those two items from your recipe.

To get a vanilla flavor, add 2 tablespoons white Karo Syrup (light corn syrup) per each cup of flour to your batter. It contains vanilla flavoring. If you don't have Karo Syrup lying around the house, check your pancake syrup labels to see if they contain vanilla. Here is a simple recipe you can use.

Also, check your ice cream syrups to see if they contain vanillin (an artificial vanilla flavoring) Hey, a chocolate syrup cake would be great! This type syrup is really sweet, so reduce the sugar in your recipe by equal amounts.

No need to reduce sugar when adding the Karo syrup, as it is not as sweet.

If you add these to your batter, be carefull how the addition thins your batter. You may want to reduce your liquid, slightly.

Your cake won't taste as vanilla as if you added pure extract, but it will still be good.

Then top it with a thawed whipped topping, like "Cool Whip", which contains a lot of vanilla flavor.

Some other things you can flavor your cake with are mashed bananas with a little sugar added. Split your layers in half and use the bananas as a filling AFTER the cake has been cooked.

Use crushed pineapple with juice and pour that on your cake AFTER baking. Put it in the refrigerator a few hour to let the juice soak evenly into the cake.
