Ingredients
For the Cake:
- Eggs – 4 large
- Granulated Sugar – 1 cup
- Vegetable Oil – ½ cup
- Milk – ½ cup
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
- All-Purpose Flour – 2 cups
- Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
Optional Additions:
- Lemon Zest – 1 teaspoon (for a citrusy touch)
- Cinnamon – ½ teaspoon (for warmth)
- Chocolate Chips – ½ cup (for extra indulgence)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Blender Mixture
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a blender, add the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Blend on low speed until the mixture is fully incorporated.
- If using lemon zest, cinnamon, or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter using a spatula instead of blending to maintain texture.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate ganache for extra flavor.
- Slice and serve with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
