Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 whole large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into the mixture and beat well until the batter is smooth and uniform. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake 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 serving.

Step 8

Slice and serve plain or top with your favorite frosting, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
