Simple Recipe for Festive New Year Mood

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed. This will form the base of your festive cake.

In another bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to mix until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps to ensure a fluffy texture.

Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense. You want to maintain that light and airy texture.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.

Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Once the cake has completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a festive touch. You can also decorate with edible flowers for an elegant look.

Slice and serve to enjoy a lovely treat during your holiday celebrations!
