Ingredients

250 g white sugar

115 g butter, softened

2 eggs

1.5 tsp vanilla extract

210 g all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

0.5 tsp salt

120 ml milk

30 g confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23 cm (9-inch) round pan.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Add 30-60 ml more milk if the batter is too stiff. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a serving plate to cool to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
