Ingredients
Pantry Staples
- All-Purpose Flour 1 cup: The foundation for a soft, tender texture.
- Granulated Sugar ¾ cup: Adds just the right level of sweetness.
- Baking Powder 1 teaspoon: Ensures your dessert has a light and fluffy finish.
- Salt a pinch: Enhances the overall flavor balance.
Flavorful Additions
- Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon: Brings warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 2 tablespoons: For a rich, chocolatey twist (optional but recommended).
- Lemon Zest 1 tablespoon: Adds a fresh, zesty note for a citrusy kick.
Wet Ingredients
- Milk ½ cup: Helps bind the ingredients and keeps the dessert moist.
- Butter ¼ cup, melted: Adds richness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Eggs 2, large: Provide structure and ensure the dessert holds together beautifully.
Optional Mix-Ins and Toppings
- Chopped Nuts e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts: Add crunch and a nutty flavor.
- Fresh Berries e.g., strawberries or blueberries: For a pop of color and natural sweetness.
- Powdered Sugar for dusting: Gives your dessert a bakery-style finish.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking right from the start.
- Lightly grease a baking dish (9x9-inch works best) or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. If you’re using cocoa powder for a chocolatey touch, add it now.
- Stir the ingredients together with a whisk or fork until they are evenly mixed and free of lumps.
Step 3: Whisk the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. The key here is to mix until the liquids are fully blended and smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and well combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the texture dense.
Step 5: Add Your Personal Touch
- Fold in optional ingredients like chopped nuts, berries, or even white chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
- This is where you can truly customize the dessert to suit your preferences.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Garnish
- Allow the dessert to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce for a professional finish.
Pro Tip:
- For a warm, gooey texture, slightly underbake the dessert by 1–2 minutes. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a heavenly combination!
