Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, dust the top lightly with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
