Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
