Instructions for makeing
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside for later.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer or hand whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in small batches, alternating with the milk. Start by adding a third of the flour mixture, then half of the milk, and repeat until everything is combined. Mix just until the batter is smooth.
6. Pour into Pan
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
7. Bake
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Decorate (Optional)
Once the cake is fully cooled, you can frost it with your favorite frosting, such as buttercream, whipped cream, or ganache. You can also add sprinkles or fresh fruit for decoration.
