  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  6. Slowly blend in the hot milk and melted butter mixture and the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon can be mixed with the dry ingredients.
  • This cake serves as a great base for various frostings and toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
