Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the acorn flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3

Cream Butter and Sugar

In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar mixture and continue to beat until light and fluffy.

4

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

6

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7

Cool the Cake

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
