Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (warm)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Whip the Eggs and Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light, fluffy, and pale in color — about 5 minutes. This step helps the cake stay airy.
3️⃣ Add Vanilla:
Mix in the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
4️⃣ Incorporate Flour:
Sift the flour into the mixture gradually, folding it in gently to keep the batter light.
5️⃣ Warm Milk and Butter:
Heat the milk and melted butter together until warm (not boiling!). Slowly pour this into the batter, stirring until smooth and silky.
6️⃣ Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7️⃣ Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a little sweetened condensed milk for extra indulgence.
Would you like me to add a topping suggestion, like whipped cream or a fruit layer, to take it to the next level? 🍓✨
