Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: Fresh berries or edible flowers for garnish
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Beat melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Alternately add flour mixture and milk into the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Gently fold until combined.
- Pour batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and smooth the top.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
