Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Method

  1. Whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla.
  2. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until you have a thick, smooth batter.
  3. Pour into a greased or parchment-lined 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) pan.
  4. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 30–40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool for 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar.

Tip: Don’t overmix after adding the flour—the cake stays softer that way.
