Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

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

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

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

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
