This soft vanilla cake is light, rich, and perfect for tea time or family gatherings. The cake has a golden top with a smooth and tender center, just like the one shown in the image. It is simple to prepare and uses everyday kitchen ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup milk

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • A small pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan or round cake pan lightly with butter and dust with a little flour.

  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy. This step helps create a soft texture.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla essence for a sweet aroma.

  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while pouring in the milk little by little. Mix gently until the batter becomes smooth without overmixing.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

  6. Bake for about 35–40 minutes or until the top becomes golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Serve this delicious cake with tea, coffee, or fresh fruit. The texture stays soft and moist, making it perfect for breakfast, dessert, or an evening snack.
