Ingredients
white sugar
1 cup (measured)
butter
1/2 cup (softened)
eggs
2 (beaten)
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons (measured)
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (measured)
baking powder
1 3/4 teaspoons (measured)
milk
1/2 cup (measured)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). If using a 9x9 inch pan, grease and flour it well. If making cupcakes, line your muffin pan with paper liners.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the white sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure thorough incorporation.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract until well blended.
5
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
6
Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth and well mixed. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared pan or muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
8
Bake in the preheated oven: for a cake, bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For cupcakes, reduce the time to 20 to 25 minutes.
9
Allow the cake or cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
