Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Cake Batter

    In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

  4. 4

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool and Dust

    Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
