Method
 

Preparation
  1. Get ready to bake something delicious! Follow these simple steps to create your own delightful cake.
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect all your ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and butter. Make sure everything is fresh and ready to go!
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it's nice and hot when your cake is ready to go in!
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugar
  1. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This adds air and makes your cake tender!
Step 5: Add Eggs and Vanilla
  1. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely flavor.
Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  1. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined; don’t overmix!
Step 7: Prepare the Baking Pan
  1. Grease and flour your cake pan to prevent sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper for extra assurance.
Step 8: Pour and Bake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool the Cake
  1. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10: Frost and Enjoy
  1. Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing. Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade cake with friends and family!
