Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

• 1 cup milk

• 3 eggs

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in 3 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1 cup of milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition until just combined.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing or enjoy it plain!
