Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 units Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth but slightly thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice into wedges and serve with your favorite morning beverage or fruit.
