Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 125 milliliters Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) round or square cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite frosting before serving.
