Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil or melted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk and vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the milk curdles to form buttermilk.
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and oil to the buttermilk mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture using a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving or decorating.
