I have a fantastic recipe for a rich, fluffy, and moist chocolate cake, but I struggle to find a vanilla cake recipe with the same texture. My vanilla cakes always turn out too dense. The latest recipe I tried was from (The Best Vanilla Cake Recipe - Recipes by Carina). Does anyone have a great vanilla cake recipe they could share?

- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
- Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
