Family-Favorite Soft Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter (softened)
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
Optional Topping: powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, or fresh fruit
Instructions:
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and lightly dust with flour.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and milk.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Make the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until smooth. Don’t overmix!
Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve
Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or top with fruits/chocolate if desired.
This cake is simple but has that “magical” family-favorite vibe. Soft, sweet, and guaranteed to disappear fast.
If you want, I can also give you a 5-minute mug cake version of this so you can make it instantly without waiting for the oven.
Do you want me to do that?
