Deliciously Moist Cake Recipe You Must Try

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). It's important that your oven is at the right temperature before you place your cake inside.

This ensures that your cake rises perfectly and has a consistent texture throughout.

While the oven is heating, take a round cake pan and grease it with butter or a non-stick spray. For added security, you may also line the base with parchment paper.

Properly preparing your pan will help prevent the cake from sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sifting these ingredients not only helps eliminate lumps but also incorporates air, which makes the cake lighter.

Set the dry mixture aside so that you can focus on the wet ingredients next.

In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

This process usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes, and it’s crucial for creating a smooth cake texture.

Once your butter and sugar are well-mixed, crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

Finally, add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is nicely combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

Be careful not to over-mix as this can lead to a dense cake!

Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, you can frost or serve it plain. Enjoy your deliciously moist cake!
