Super Soft Vanilla Breakfast Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or fresh berries for serving

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch (or similar) baking pan.

2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3️⃣ Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4️⃣ Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined — do not overmix.

5️⃣ Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6️⃣ Cool & serve: Let the cake cool slightly in the pan. Dust with powdered sugar or top with berries if you like. Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!


If you’d like, I can help you adapt this for different flavors (like lemon or cinnamon) — just say the word! 🍰✨
