Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or whisk just until combined. Avoid overmixing as this can affect the cake's texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 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.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
