1 1/2 c sugar

2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c plus 2 tablespoons of milk

  • 5. Cool and add any frosting you wish and serve
  • 6. NOTE: May take longer to prepare until you get the recipe down

Tips:

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature before beginning. This helps them combine more easily and results in a smoother batter.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined, without overbeating.
  • Use Fresh Baking Powder: Baking powder loses its potency over time, so make sure yours is fresh for the best rise.
  • Properly Grease and Flour the Pan: This prevents the cake from sticking and ensures an even bake.
  • Oven Temperature: Accurately preheat your oven to the specified temperature and avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from sinking.
  • Toothpick Test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it has batter attached, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving. This helps it set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
