Super Soft Vanilla Breakfast Cake

by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra softness)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined — don’t overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool slightly, slice, and enjoy warm for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea!
