Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
  2. Pour into Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan, preferably an 8×8-inch square pan, or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  3. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on the oven.
  4. Cool and Slice: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into squares or desired shapes and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is cooled to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative of your choice.
  • Adjust sugar amount to your sweetness preference.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
  • This cake keeps well stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
