vanilla cake

Classic birthday treat

A vanilla cake is a cake flavored primarily with vanilla extract rather than chocolate, fruit, or other dominant flavors.

It serves as the default or "plain" option in many contexts—birthday parties, weddings, sheet cakes.

The batter is typically pale yellow or white.
