Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. (If you’re adding chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit, fold them in gently.)
- Pour into the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar, frosting, or whipped cream.
Enjoy: This quick and easy cake is perfect for any occasion and can be customized with your favorite mix-ins!
