Ingredients

• 200 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 60 milliliters whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
