Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • Optional: fresh spring fruits or edible flowers for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or 9×13-inch pan and lightly flour it.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: Beat butter and sugar together with a mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternately add dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with dry. Mix until just combined.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes (bundt pan) or 35-40 minutes (9×13 pan), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Glaze: Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake. Decorate with seasonal fruits or edible flowers, if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Use room-temperature eggs and butter for a smooth, even batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a soft, tender cake.
  • Check cake doneness with a toothpick to prevent overbaking.
  • Cool completely before glazing to avoid melting the icing.
