Ingredients
Cake
¾ cup (180 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1⅓ cups (270 g) sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
2½ cups (325 g) cake & pastry flour
1½ (5 g) teaspoons baking powder
½ (3 g) teaspoon baking soda
¼ (2 g) teaspoon salt
1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
Caramel Pastry Cream
3 tablespoons (45 ml) water
1 cup granulated (200 g) sugar
1 tablespoon (15 ml) white corn syrup
1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
1 recipe Basic Vanilla Pastry Cream, chilled
Frosting & Assembly
¾ cup (180 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
4-6 (520 g - 780 g) cups icing sugar sifted
6 tablespoons (90 ml) 2% milk
1½ (8 ml) teaspoons vanilla extract
Baking Instructions
1) For the cake preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper and then flour the sides of the pans, tapping out any excess.
2) Using electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3) Add this alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour and mixing well after each addition. Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans.
4) Bake the cakes for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes for 20 minutes in their pans, then carefully turn out to cool completely on a rack.
5) For the caramel pastry cream, bring the water, sugar and corn syrup to a full boil in a medium saucepot. Boil, uncovered and without stirring, occasionally brushing the sides of the pot with water, until it is a light amber colour. Whisk in the cream gradually (take care for the steam) until fully incorporated, and cool to room temperature. Whisk 1/3 cup of the caramel sauce into the pastry cream and chill until ready to assemble.
6) For the frosting, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using electric beaters, beat the butter until it is fluffy. Add 2 cups of the icing sugar and first beat on low speed to incorporate, then increase the speed to high, until fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and beat in. Add the remaining 2 cups of icing sugar and beat in, adding further up to 6 cups until a fluffy and spreadable consistency is achieved (the softness of your butter when you begin is the reason you may have to make this adjustment).
7) To assemble, place the first cake layer on a plate or platter. Fill a piping bag fitted with a plain tip with about a cup of frosting and pipe a ring around the outside of the cake (this prevents the pastry cream from seeping out). Scrape half of the caramel pastry cream into the centre of this and spread to level. Top this with the second cake layer, and spread a thin coating of frosting on the top and sides of the cake and chill for 20 minutes (this is the crumb coat). Now completely coat the top and sides of the cake with frosting and level until smooth. Using a pastry bag fitted with a piping tip of your choice, pipe a design on the top edge of the cake. Stir the remaining caramel sauce into the remaining half of the caramel pastry cream and spread this on the top of the cake. Chill until ready to serve.
8) The cake can be made up to a day in advance and stored, refrigerated until ready to serve.

Hi jillhbaudhaan 6
I made this vanilla cake today for my strawberry shortcàke and was perfect. It is a soft moist cake not dense like other cakes i have tried and sweetness is just right. This recipe is for keeps. Thank you for sharing.
I really love the way she gives out the instructions on how to or what to add. So precise and simplified instructions
I can't even begin to imagine how spectacular this tastes!
OMG You're the best Pastry Chef ever:) you make everything look so simple!
I made it yesterday and it’s amazing! Used cream cheese frosting instead of buttercream but it still came out great :)
Thank you for the recipe, Anna!
Just made three batches of this for a friend’s wedding. The texture is so soft, like a cloud!
I tried it numerous times. It turned out so well just like bakery cakes. Everyone liked it ,I keep getting more orders for this cake. Thank you Anna

This was posted 4yrs ago..i did the recipe exactly just a week ago..the result was everthing...the taste to die for ...thank you Anna my favourite teacher
Been making this cake for my couzin and they love it..credit to the chef anna thank you for sharing. And now i’m sharing this to my vlog. Thanks to you i’ve found the right recipe for vanilla cake.;)
Looks absolutely delicious!
love to see u make the cake, everything looks simply made, thank u Chef Anna
Hands down the nicest vanilla cake I have made. I added a bit of vanilla paste too. I have tried sooo many recipes with medicocre or dry tasteless results. It seems vanilla is the hardest to perfect but this was delicious and a keeper! a go to recipe for sure, thank you, Anna. ☺
Was it moist?
i think you have magic with your hand to make every cake delicious.
I love u Anna please keep making these vids!!!
It looks so good!
Perfect everytime I bake it.
Thank you Anna
I made the cake today and it came out pretty nice, super moist and perfect vanilla flavour! I didn't have enough butter so I used 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup oil, I also replaced the buttermilk with some watered down vanilla greek yoghurt. The only negative was that there were major air pockets in the cake, even though I knocked the cake tins on the counter several times before putting them in the oven. Next time I will run a knife through the cake batter before baking. Thanks for this great recipe!! It will be my go to any time I need a vanilla cake!
Glad that you are testing with other ingredients. Always makes it fun, but know that your results will not be the same as the original tested recipe.
I love ❤️ everything about your shows.....a beautiful kitchen, everything so nice 👍🏻 and clean ,so Europeans remind me the time I was in Italy and French. I haven’t try any of your recipes but I do enjoy watching the show. I am waiting for the the new oven...except with what going on right now ,...my family too worry for people to delivery ...so we need to wait...so I just have to watch your show at the mean time. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful recipes . 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻
I can't bake but she explains this so clearly I'm tempted to try it out!
Hi Anna, I tried this recipe and it turned out really well. Thank you so much. 😊

Looks delicious as always
I am a big fan of yours....Bake with Anna Olson... thank you for all the recipes. Love from Malaysia.
I grew up watching you. I have really fond memories of faking sick as a kid just so that I could watch Sugar on TV.
I'm glad someone knows who Anna Olson is! Some of these comments sound like no one has heard of her before!
Fawzia Hassan I've seen her tv shows back few years when I was in Canada. I always think she's quite famous.

Wow! This is a gorgeous cake! you explain each step sp well and make it look so easy :-)!
Ana you are a master.Thank you for sharing .
Girl you make like 4 cakes for one video, I love it.
This cake looks heavenly! My birthday is in April, and I have asked my mom (who is a very talented baker) to make this for me. I can't wait! I ain't sharing! LOL
Thanks a lot for the wonderfully delicious recipe,Anna.
We all loved it.
Love your channel.
Great to hear!
Very pretty cake, looks really delicious, too!
😊 anna is the best!
Your kitchen is goal! When I grow up and have enough money to buy a house, this would be my kitchen! ✨💕
Anna Ruan hhh you will noy have time to cook ! You will have to go to work to pay for the kitchen 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding
That’s a bakery kitchen not a house kitchen
This recipe was amazing, took quite a while to make, especially the decorating but it was worth it! Everyone loved it. It was my first time using "cake flour" as I had only ever used all purpose and wow it was so light! I'll definitely be adding corn flour to more cakes.
Just spectacular!
looks soooo good😍
I wanna thank you so much.. I tried the cake recipe yesterday, first of all, it's very easy, took no time. Second, it tastes greeeeeeeat... and I do mean great.
So fluffy, so moisture, tasty, and very light.
I'm not exaggerating when I say it's like fancy bakeries cakes, if not better.
How much flower did you use?
@@sueeby1787 same amount she used
Thank you so much for your videos, cooking is my line of work and you are making it so much easier for me dear i love i love this

Just subbed! Man, I am so making this cake...this weekend!!!
Hi Anna I tried ur vanilla cake recipe with Italian buttercream and the combination came so well that my kid and my husband enjoyed a lot. Thnks for beautiful recipes.

Hi Anna! I made this for my mom's birthday yesterday. It was really delicious! Thank you for sharing your awesome recipe! 😘😍
I'm glad it brought joy to your family!
Why am I just now finding you? You are amazing!
I've tried 3 vanilla cake recipes and they all turned out a disastor .. i was so dispointed than i remembered anna olson has a basic recipe for every kind of cake so i made it à few hours ago, my lil brothers ate it before i make the frosting so this gives you a clue about how delicious it is .. thank you anna u the best
Wow thanks for the recipe and the clearly explain
I am loving 😍 it and You with say Ohhh Yahhhhh.
it looks so good! only other thing I'd add is a crunchy element (probably pecans).
Omg 😱 looks very delicious 😍😋😋😋
Thank you Chef Anna 💖
Love, from Philippines 💖
You're the best Anna Olson
Best thing is she bakes every thing v well and she's fit too😍
This looks amazing cant wait to try it. So the vanilla pastry cream is bought separate right? Then mixed with the carmel
Amazing.
Cindy thank you for sharing enjoy your weekend
Beautiful
Best cake EVER!
Just subscribed ! Your recipes are amazing! Keep going!
thank you!
amazing!!!!
Dream kitchen! God, I'd love to bake in such a space, with those lovely ovens, cooling racks, bins for sugar and flour etc. Plus it's pretty. :D
Yes it is a great space.
what o find is that cold cream makes the caramel lumpy cause the caramel is setting as soon you put the cream so use room temperature cream or warm / preheated
Looks very tasty
Craving for this caramel cake
Unreal good job
Question : Should the frosting be cool when I start decorating or room temperature?
Is there a video with a tour of your kitchen? I love your built-in sugar and flour bins.
You make it look so easy! Last time I baked I tried to make homemade brownies and they turned out like hockey pucks! 😂
To think that there are 258 idiots who did not like this video....how could you not like her videos? she is the sweetest, nicest person ever!!
gracias! saludos desde Mexico
Delicious chef
I made it, let me tell you everyone love it, taste AMAZING, thank you
