Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream Butter & Sugar:

    • In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Add Eggs & Vanilla:

    • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    • Mix in vanilla extract.

  5. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients:

    • Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture.
    • Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

  6. Bake the Cake:

    • Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool & Serve:

    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Serve as is, dust with powdered sugar, or frost as desired!

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a better texture.
  • Add ½ cup of chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
  • Store at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute ½ cup of milk with sour cream or yogurt.
