Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you only have salted butter, reduce or omit the additional salt in the recipe.
  • You can store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This cake can be frozen for up to 3 months if wrapped tightly and stored properly.
  • Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture.
  • For a fluffier cake, avoid overmixing the batter.
