Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup (melted) unsalted butter
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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vegetable oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite icing for extra sweetness.
