Cake Ingredients
Method
Cake Directions
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
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.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
