If you’re looking to make the fluffiest vanilla bean sheet cake, made without butter, this is the one. It has an incredibly pillowy, cloud-like, cotton-soft texture with a plush crumb that practically melts in your mouth—and the most wonderful vanilla bean flavor in every bite.
I personally love enjoying a slice warm out of the oven with just a sprinkle of powdered sugar—it’s such a cake dream. And the best part? It comes together in less than five minutes, bakes up beautifully, and stays so soft and tender.
It’s the kind of cake that’s perfect if you want to make something for a party or just have friends over. It’s quick to whip up, super versatile, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Like I said, I love it simple with just powdered sugar, but if you want to dress it up, I love to top it with ganache—such as my strawberry and cream ganache, as seen in the photo above. It’s a perfect match, and so pretty with that soft pink color.
You can also pipe roses on top, depending on how thick you whip it. And the best part? This cake is perfect to freeze, even with the ganache on it. Just pop it in the freezer, and when you bring it back to room temperature, it comes out super fluffy and light—just like freshly baked.
This recipe has been loved by so many of you app users already, and for good reason. So if you’re looking for a go-to vanilla bean cake that never fails, give this one a try. Your taste buds will thank you.
