It's clear that snacks, particularly pastries and cakes, elevate tea and coffee breaks. They blend harmoniously with the flavours and texture of your beverage. This vanilla cake is one such example. It has a light and mild flavour with a soft, fluffy texture that you will keep coming back for more.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract 1/2 cup whole milk
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in eggs and vanilla.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or frost, as desired.
Slice and serve with tea. Enjoy your teatime treat.
