Vanilla Heaven Cake

I love white cake more than any other cake, specially vanilla cake with high quality ingredients. Using butter and pure vanilla extract can totally change the taste of a simple vanilla cake. My Vanilla Heaven cake recipe might be very similar to many other recipe that you have tried, but the couple of extra ingredients makes this cake heavenly. This cake is ideal for stacking and decorating with Swiss Meringue butter cream, or covering with fondant. You can also use real %35 whipped cream to decorate this cake, make a strawberry shortcake or add fresh flowers to make a custom cake for any occasions. This recipe was one of our most popular ones for any occasion at Coconut Heaven Cake Shop and Cafe. #vanillacake #strawberryshortcake #swissmeringuebuttercream
