Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot when the batter is ready.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combining and Baking

  1. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  3. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  4. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
