Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently after each addition.
Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and well-combined, but be careful not to overmix as this can result in a dense cake.
Step 6: Pour and Bake
Pour the prepared batter into your greased cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Serve
Once the cake has cooled, you can serve it as is, or frost it with your favorite icing, dust it with powdered sugar, or serve with whipped cream and fresh fruits.
Cooking Tips
Measure Accurately: Use a kitchen scale for the most precise measurements. Baking is a science, and small variations in ingredient quantities can affect the final result.
Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your butter is softened and at room temperature. Cold butter won’t cream well with the sugar, resulting in a dense cake.
Hot Milk: Make sure your milk is hot, not just warm. Hot milk helps to create a lighter, airier cake by blending more smoothly into the batter.
Avoid Overmixing: Once the dry ingredients are added, mix the batter just until combined. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tougher cake.
