Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could affect the cake's texture.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Step 8
Serve plain, or top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for an added treat.
