Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Stir in the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined.

Notes
Use room-temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
