Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cool, dust the top lightly with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
