Vanilla Sheet Cake Recipe

I baked this cake for my little one (my sister’s son). He absolutely loved it. It is super easy to put together, the cake itself is super fluffy and light. The frosting I used is cream cheese frosting which paired beautifully with this cake. The sheet cake has a subtle sweetness which goes well with the slight tang of the cake. Whipped cream frosting can also be used instead of cream cheese frosting.

About Vanilla Sheet Cake Recipe

Sheet cakes are perfect recipe to make for any parties or gatherings. You can make a big batch of the cake in no time at all and it is easy for sharing too. This vanilla sheet cake is one such recipe, it is made with basic ingredients like flour, sugar, milk, oil and vanilla. I added confetti into the cake to make it colourful and presentable.

Cream cheese frosting is what I used in this cake. I preferred slightly tangy frosting over overly sweet frosting like buttercream. Chocolate ganache or whipped cream frosting can be used too.
