Easy Vanilla Cake Recipe

This vanilla cake recipe is very easy and very yummy. This is a single cake so you don't need to slice it and put the fillings in the middle. Instead, put the fillings on the top of it. It is up to you if you want to spread the icing around too. You can also sprinkle some types of berries or sliced fruits as your cake's toppings. Here I have the slices of young coconut meat and slices of  rambutan meat as my toppings. This is good together with coffee or tea as well as if you want it to be a birthday cake or any celebration's cake, much better if you spread the icing around it.

Here's how the cake look likes when it has no icing or toppings yet. I put the other side up where I should have my toppings.
