A handmade cake that has just come out of the oven is unrivaled. From birthdays to afternoon tea, this timeless dish is ideal for all celebrations. Using top-notch ingredients and strictly adhering to the recipe are the keys to making a tasty cake. 

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together to begin. As a result, the dry ingredients will be dispersed evenly and the cake will be delicate and fluffy. Another crucial step is to cream the butter and sugar together in order to incorporate air into the mixture and produce a light and fluffy texture.

Adding in the eggs one at a time and stirring in the vanilla extract further enhances the flavor and richness of the cake. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk is crucial to prevent the batter from becoming too dense or tough. Be sure to mix well after each addition to fully incorporate the ingredients.

Once the batter is ready, pour it into a greased and floured cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time, and test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready to be removed from the oven and cooled.
