Ingredients
Here’s what you need to concoct this magical dessert:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened (yes, the stick kind!)
- 4 eggs (the more, the merrier!)
- 1 cup milk (or a splash of comedy milk, if you have it)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (for that ‘rise’ and shine effect)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (aka liquid happiness)
- A pinch of salt (because too much happiness isn’t a thing)
Instructions
Now, let’s get down to business. Follow these steps for a cake so simple; you’ll wonder if it even counts as cooking!
- Preheat that oven of yours to 350°F (or 175°C for those who are cosmopolitan).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it’s fluffy enough to cuddle. Be careful not to eat the batter! No one likes a sneaky baker.
- Crack those eggs in, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (Remember to check for shell fragments… unless you enjoy the crunch.)
- Stir in the milk and vanilla. This is where the magic happens, folks! Stir until everything is blended perfectly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until they’re best friends.
- Slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing well until you’re left with a cake batter that looks like it’s ready for a party.
- Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and spread it out nicely. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect; it’s going to taste phenomenal!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (or without too much cake on it). It’s all about finding that sweet spot!
- Once baked, let it cool on a wire rack, and give yourself a high-five. You just created a masterpiece!
And voilà! You’ve managed to whip up a magnificent cake that’ll impress anyone. Now go forth and share your sweet victory with the world (or just eat it all yourself—we won’t tell!).
