Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions: 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
