Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
If using chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Cut into squares and enjoy as a snack or dessert!
