Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting
Fresh fruits or berries (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
