Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool completely on the wire rack before serving or frosting.
