Main Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour Use a spoon to fluff it up before measuring for perfect results.
1 cup granulated sugar Helps create that irresistible sweetness.
0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened Soft butter means your cake will be light and fluffy.
0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk Adds a dreamy creaminess and a touch of decadence.
3 pieces eggs Room temperature eggs help create a smooth batter.
2 teaspoons baking powder Make sure it’s fresh!
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pure vanilla extract makes a world of difference in flavor.
0.5 teaspoon salt Balances out the sweetness beautifully.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your favorite cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Baking

Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until golden color and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

If short on time, soften butter in the microwave, but don't melt it. For a unique flavor, add chocolate chips, nuts, or lemon zest to the batter.
