Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Wondering how to start without making a mess? Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a medium baking pan. Lightly dust it with flour. Gather all ingredients so everything is ready, which makes the process smoother and quicker.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Concerned about mixing the batter properly? In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy and pale. Add eggs one by one, mixing gently. Pour in milk and vanilla, stirring until everything looks smooth and slightly fluffy.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Not sure how to avoid lumps in your cake? In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this dry mix into the wet batter. Stir gently until combined, making sure the batter looks smooth without overmixing.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Worried about baking time and doneness? Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30–35 minutes. The cake is ready when it turns golden and a toothpick comes out clean. For smaller portions, reduce baking time slightly.
