Yield:
1 9-inch round cake

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated; stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too stiff, a tablespoon or two of milk may be added. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack, then turn out onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar right before serving.
