🧺 Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk (warm)
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

Optional (to elevate the flavor):

  • Zest of 1 lemon or orange
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or yogurt (for extra moistness)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

🥄 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven:
    Set it to 180°C / 350°F and grease a round or square baking pan (about 8-inch).
  2. Mix the wet ingredients:
    In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and warm milk. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients:
    In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet batter while stirring gently.
  4. Add a personal touch:
    If desired, stir in lemon zest or a spoonful of yogurt for that Grandma-style softness.
  5. Bake it:
    Pour the smooth batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve:
    Let the cake rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar or top with a drizzle of honey for a glossy finish.

🧑‍🍳 Methods

  • Creaming method: Combining sugar and eggs creates a light, airy texture.
