Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with your choice of ice cream.
