Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This step helps create a soft texture in the cake.
Step 4: Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Step 5: Incorporate the Milk and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with fresh fruit, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
