Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or whisk just until combined. Avoid overmixing as this can affect the cake's texture.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 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.

Step 8

Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
