Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 units eggs (large)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and brown sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let it boil.
Drizzle the cream and sugar mixture evenly over the cake batter.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, if desired.
Cut the cake into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
