Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (113 g) butter
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
Flavoring:
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
Leavening Agent:
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×9 inch pan with grease and flour, or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Using an electric mixer, thoroughly blend sugar and butter until creamy and pale. Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring complete integration after each addition, then gently mix in vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Slowly pour milk and blend until batter achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula to ensure smooth surface and consistent depth.
- Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Test cake’s doneness by gently pressing the center – it should spring back immediately and appear golden around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the middle should emerge clean.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Sifting flour and baking powder together prevents clumping and creates a lighter, more even cake crumb.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond milk or coconut milk without compromising the cake’s structure.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough, dense cake; mix just until ingredients are combined.
