Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. Or give it a non-stick spray spa treatment. Your choice.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. It’s like a dry ingredient party.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Seriously, you want clouds here—soft, sweet clouds.
- Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. It’s an egg parade!
- Mix in the vanilla extract. It’s like the secret ingredient that’s not secret at all.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture. Start and end with the flour. It’s like a delicious tug-of-war but everyone wins.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly. Even as a pancake, but please don’t make a pancake.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. No sticky bits, okay?
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack. Patience is key, but feel free to sniff longingly.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Substitute almond extract for vanilla for a nutty twist. Swap in coconut milk for the regular milk if you’re feeling tropical.
- Garnishing Options: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, or top with fresh berries. Go wild.
- Cooking Tips: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. It makes the batter happier, and happy batter makes better cake.
