Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cake pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the sides.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Pour batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.

  7. 7

    Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Chef's tip

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture. This cake pairs wonderfully with a simple vanilla buttercream or fresh berries.
