This simple cake recipe was sent home from our children’s school. It is the easiest, best-tasting cake I’ve ever made. It’s great to make with the kids, especially for cupcakes. Use your favorite frosting on top of this delicious cake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square cake pan.
Step 3
Cream sugar and butter together in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
Step 4
Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well. Add milk and stir until smooth.
Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly touched, 30 to 40 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy!
Tips
A 10-inch round pan will produce similar results. To make cupcakes, line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
