Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a classy finish.
Slice and serve immediately—don’t be surprised if there’s none left over!
