Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until combined and smooth.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and the milk into the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream and fresh fruits.
