Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake tin with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, and vegetable oil; mix by hand or beat with an electric mixer on low speed until cake batter is smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes to an hour. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake carefully onto a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
