I use vanilla bean paste for this recipie as it gives a better flavour and you have lovely black speckles in the frosting at the end . Turn the mixer down to speed.
Once all the milk has been incorperated, turn the mixer up to high speed. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy , at least 5 minutes . The longer the frosting is beaten , the fluffier and lighter it becomes. This website is published by Immediate Media Company Limited under licence from BBC Studios Distribution.

I prefer oil-based cakes over butter-based cakes because oil tends to make cakes moister. It also makes the crumb and texture a bit more tender. Since this cake uses oil instead of butter, there’s no waiting around for your butter to come to room temperature. Often times recipes using butter require properly whipping the butter and sugar together, but we don’t have to worry about that with this recipe. Granulated sugar: The ratio of sugar to flour is very important in baked goods, so be sure to follow the recipe.
Some people have reduced the sugar without an issue but I don’t recommend it. Vegetable oil: Oil makes this cakee more moist than a recipe with butter. Whole eggs: This is a dense and spongy cake, so we’re using the whole egg. Pure vanilla extract: Be sure you get a high-quality REAL vanilla extract for this recipe because the vanilla is your main ingredient for flavor. Sour cream: Sour cream helps keeps this cake very moist.
