Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup (melted) unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vegetable oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite icing for extra sweetness.
