★Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
★Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can frost the cake with your favorite frosting, or simply dust it with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy!
