Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite frosting (vanilla buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or lemon glaze) and decorate as desired.
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Experiment with fruit fillings or nuts for added flavor and texture.
