Method

Preparation

Preheat the Oven

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

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Prepare Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined.

Baking

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Add Flavor Enhancements

Fold in the cinnamon, lemon zest, and chopped nuts if you're using them.

Prepare Baking Dish

Grease a 9-inch round baking pan and pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

Cool the Cake

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

Serve

Slice the cake and serve it plain or with your favorite frosting or topping.
