Favorite White/Yellow Cake
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup icy cold water (important)
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla (Madagascar vanilla gives a better vanilla flavor)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8" or 9" cake pan. In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt until very light and airy, about 3 times.
2. In a small bowl, combine cold water, oil, and vanilla. Add liquid ingredients (except lemon juice) to dry and combine. Once the batter is combined, add the lemon juice and stir quickly then pour into prepared pan.
3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tests done with toothpick.
This recipe tastes like a typical omni vanilla cake. It rises extremely well and is light, fluffy, moist and rich at the same time.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is one of the recipes that I have tried and said
ZOMG I CANT BELIVE THESE R VEGAN!!!!
They taste all spongy and great, I think I added the wrong thing though coz mine came out beige- not yellow or white
Oh well- they still tasted awesome :)>>>
seriously good. I modified the recipe since I cannot have regular flour but I used the same amount of All Purpose Gluten Free flour and added 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan Gum. Make cupcakes with it and baked for 16 minutes.
Turned out amazing!
I find this cake very yummy! It's not a hundred percent like the omni white cakes I have eaten, but it actually tastes better! It is very spongy. The lemon is VERY important though as it reacts with the baking soda to give the cake some lift. If you decide not to use it, try vinegar instead. I also used apple sauce instead of oil. mmm.
Thanks! ;)b
how many cupcakes will the batter make?
this should give you a dozen cupcakes.

It tasted good, but it broke into a million pieces when i took it out of the pan. =[
make sure you use enough grease in the pan - the same thing happened to me when i didnt grease it enough.

delicious! :>
These were a big hit! I double the recipe and made cake for dinner with my parents and cupcakes for a Saturday night with the girls. They were well received by all! I made a simple butter cream frosting and topped them all with coconut. Very tasty!
This is my favourite cake I've ever made! I cut back on the sugar only a little, just to taste, and made a lemon buttercream frosting to top.
The texture was fantastic as well.
