Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Prepare the Pan:
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Cook the Cake:
- Place a trivet or a heat diffuser on the bottom of a large, deep pot with a tight-fitting lid to prevent direct contact between the pan and the heat source.
- Put the cake pan on top of the trivet and cover the pot with the lid. Ensure the lid is tight to keep the steam inside.
- Cook on the stove over low heat for about 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
- Cool and Serve:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the cake pan from the pot. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cake as is, or frost it with your favorite icing once it has cooled.
