Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream or plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream (or plain yogurt) in three parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 6

Add the milk to the batter and gently fold or mix until smooth. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick yet pourable.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a streusel or topping of your choice over the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut and serve as desired.
