instructions
    1

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This ensures that your cake rises perfectly and gets a nice golden color.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; this should take about 5-7 minutes. Be patient, as this step is crucial for a tender cake.

    3

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want to incorporate air into the batter for a light texture.

    4

    Stir in the vanilla extract and milk to keep the batter moist.

    5

    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. This helps to aerate the flour and combine the leavening agent evenly.

    6

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

    7

    Grease a cake pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking, then pour in the batter.

    8

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

    9

    Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help it keep its shape.
