Wire rack
- 240 g all-purpose flour
- 300 g granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Feel free to add frosting, fruits, or toppings of your choice to customize your cake!
Always grease and flour your pan, even if it's nonstick, to prevent sticking. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before pouring into the pan to achieve a smoother texture. Don’t rush the cooling process to prevent cracks. Feel free to add frosting, fruits, or toppings of your choice to customize your cake!
