This is much better vanilla cake than the store bought box cake mix...light, fluffy, buttery...with Oreo cream cheese marbles...Mmmm... I can't help to have more than one piece.
For Oreo Cream Cheese Marbles:
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz.)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Oreo cookies, crush to crumbs with a food processor
For the Ultimate vanilla cake:
Dry ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla
- 2/3 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line parchment paper in a 9x13 baking pan for easy remove later.
- In medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients together. Sift if you like finer texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk above wet ingredients in order with an electric mixer or stand mixer until well blend. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while whisking. Beat on medium speed until smooth. The batter will be liquid and that's supposed to be that way.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Drop spoon full of Vanilla Marbles over the batter about 1-inch apart. Use a small knife to line through the batter and create marble look. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out of center clean.
- Cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting.
