    A simple Thermomix vanilla cake with homemade buttercream icing - the perfect birthday cake (or afternoon tea treat!). 

    Thermomix Vanilla Cake

    It's no secret that here at ThermoBliss we LOVE a good cake recipe... and this one is no exception! Our Thermomix Vanilla Cake is an absolute classic. It's so simple to make and tastes amazing with our buttercream icing (also made in the Thermomix, of course!).

    A piece of cake with pink icing.

    Best of all, the cake made from basic ingredients that you might already have at home - butter, caster sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla extract and self-raising flour. Plus the buttercream takes just a minute or two to whip up and is made from butter, icing sugar, milk, vanilla extract and a drop of food colouring (optional). This really is such a simple and classic cake recipe.

    If you notice that your cake is browning too quickly while baking, simply pop a loose sheet of foil over the top and continue cooking. The cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs on it.

    This cake is a great all-rounder. It can be used for birthday cakes, lunch boxes, morning/afternoon tea treats, cake stalls... anything! It can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months (but I promise it will be eaten well before then!!).

      Hi - do you think this cake would work for a funfetti cake? Any changes I would need to make when adding the sprinkles, do you think? Thanks

      After 25mins the cake was nowhere near cooked through in the middle so ended up leaving for another 15 mins. Is there a way to stop the middle rising so much? I'm excited to taste it for my daughter's first birthday 🙂

        Hi Emily, if it's rising in the middle then you will want to turn the oven temperature down as that's what causes that to happen. You will need to cook it longer though (all ovens are different). Add a sheet of foil loosely over the top if it's overbrowning.
