Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts gently into the batter.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake 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.

  2. 8

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, 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.
