Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Make the Cake Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cake cool slightly before serving warm. Cut into squares and serve with a scoop of ice cream on top.
