Super Soft Vanilla Breakfast Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the yogurt (or sour cream) and milk until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25–30 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.
  10. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
