Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula
  • 8-inch Round Cake Pan
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Crack the eggs one at a time into the bowl, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
