    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (22cm) cake pan with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry ingredient base.

    3

    In another bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine.

    4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain light and airy.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    6

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    7

    Before serving, dust with powdered sugar, or fill with vanilla cream and decorate with fresh fruit.
