Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Not sure how to start without making a mess? Preheat your oven to 180°C and lightly grease a baking pan. Gather all ingredients and let them sit at room temperature. This small step helps everything mix smoothly and bake evenly.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Worried about lumps in your batter? In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until soft and pale. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Pour in milk and vanilla, stirring until the mixture looks smooth and slightly creamy.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Not sure when to add dry ingredients? In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold this into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should look soft and slightly thick, not overmixed.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Wondering when it’s done baking? Pour the batter into your pan and bake for about 30–35 minutes. The top should turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let it cool before slicing.

For 2 people: baking time may be slightly shorter.
For larger batches: allow a few extra minutes depending on pan size.
