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
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square baking pan, then set aside.
In a medium-sized, oven-safe pot on the stovetop, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
Stir in the sugar with a wooden spoon or whisk until well combined with the melted butter.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the pot and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
If needed, scrape down the sides of the pot and ensure the batter is evenly distributed.
Transfer the pot directly to the oven (as long as it’s oven-safe) or pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pot or pan. Serve warm or let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, frost, or serve with whipped cream.
