Vanilla Sheet Cake

Vanilla Sheet Cake

Everyday

Vanilla sheet cake is a classic American dessert characterized by its single-layer rectangular shape and light, airy crumb structure. Made with butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, this cake achieves its signature tenderness through the creaming method that incorporates air into the batter. While providing quick energy from carbohydrates and sugars, it often contains gluten and dairy, with portion control being essential for nutritional tracking due to standard large-batch preparation for celebrations and events.
