Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Feeling unsure about where to start? Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a small baking pan. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy. Crack in the eggs one by one, mixing gently after each addition.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Worried about lumps in your batter? Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then slowly fold into the wet mixture. Add milk and vanilla extract, stirring until you get a smooth, pourable batter without overmixing.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Not sure when the batter is ready? Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and gently tap it on the counter to remove air bubbles. The batter should look even and slightly glossy on top.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Wondering how to know it’s done? Bake for about 25–30 minutes until the top turns golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing. For 2 servings, reduce baking time slightly; for larger batches, extend time a little.

Why This Recipe Works for Busy Days

Need something quick that still feels homemade? This recipe comes together with minimal prep and simple steps, making it perfect for saving and trying later. It doesn’t require constant attention, and leftovers taste just as good the next day. You can even prepare the batter ahead and bake when needed.
