Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender cake.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure full incorporation. Then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough cake.
- Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch baking pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars to ensure clean slices and optimal texture.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour to maintain a tender crumb.
- Use fresh baking powder for best leavening results.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- Optionally, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or add shredded coconut for extra flavor and presentation.
