    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

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

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
