Nothing can beat the taste of a homemade vanilla cake. One bite is all it takes to fall in love with Vanilla Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. All you need are standard ingredients, like cake flour, baking powder, salt and an ingredient that gives fine texture and white color – cornstarch.

Wet ingredients you need are milk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Cream Cheese filling is not standard, because I‘ve made some changes, I actually added heavy cream. A small quantity of heavy cream gives it a milder taste, that kids will love. My son loves the filling made like that.

Moist, light and airy cake with cream cheese, heavy cream and vanilla filling is just what you need. You will love its perfect combination of flavors.
