Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or whisk just until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 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 before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit.
