Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Essentials
- ✔ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even bake and the perfect rise.
- ✔ Grease and line your cake pan. Use butter or cooking spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- ✔ Measure all ingredients. This avoids last-minute scrambling and helps with accuracy.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- ✔ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Flour (2 cups)
- Baking powder (1 ½ tsp)
- Baking soda (½ tsp)
- Salt (¼ tsp)
- ✔ Mix well to evenly distribute the leavening agents—this helps create that light, airy texture.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar
- ✔ In a separate bowl, beat together:
- Softened butter (½ cup)
- Granulated sugar (1 cup)
- ✔ Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is pale, light, and fluffy.
- ✔ This step is crucial for incorporating air into the batter, which results in a soft, tender cake.
Step 4: Add the Wet Ingredients
- ✔ Beat in eggs (one at a time), ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- ✔ Add vanilla extract (1 tsp) for flavor depth.
- ✔ Slowly pour in milk (¾ cup) while mixing on low speed—this keeps the batter smooth and prevents curdling.
Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients
- ✔ Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches (about ⅓ at a time).
- ✔ Use a spatula or a low-speed mixer to avoid overmixing—this helps maintain a light and fluffy cake texture.
- ✔ If using add-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit), gently fold them in at this stage.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
- ✔ Pour the batter evenly into your prepared cake pan.
- ✔ Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- ✔ Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Add the Finishing Touches
- ✔ Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with caramel sauce, or spread your favorite frosting.
- ✔ Slice, serve, and watch it disappear in minutes!
