Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour 1½ cups granulated sugar 1 cup milk ½ cup unsalted butter (melted) 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt

Baking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then add milk and butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool, then frost as desired.

Serving

Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. For best results, slice with a serrated knife to maintain the cake’s fluffy texture. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. This cake pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee and can also be layered with frosting or jam for a more festive presentation.
