Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to maintain emulsion.
  4. Stir in pure vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture on low speed until just blended.
  6. Pour in whole milk (or heavy cream) and mix until smooth without overbeating.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing out the top, then bake for 40–50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow cooling in the pan for about 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
