Step by Step Method
First preheat your oven to one hundred eighty degrees Celsius. Grease a round or square cake pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour. Keep it aside so it is ready to use.
Take a large mixing bowl and add the soft butter and sugar. Using a whisk or spoon mix them together until the mixture looks creamy and smooth. This step helps to add air which makes the cake soft.
Add the eggs one by one into the butter mixture. Mix well after adding each egg so everything blends nicely. Then add the vanilla essence and stir gently.
Now add the milk slowly into the mixture and mix again until smooth. The batter should look creamy and slightly thick.
In a separate bowl add the all purpose flour baking powder and salt. Mix them together well so the baking powder spreads evenly.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently using a spatula or spoon. Do not over mix. Just mix until you no longer see dry flour.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for thirty five to forty minutes. To check if it is done insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean the cake is ready.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for ten minutes. Then carefully remove it and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled slice and serve. You can enjoy it plain or with tea coffee or milk.
