Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Add Raisins and Nuts (Optional)

If using, fold in the raisins and chopped nuts.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Enjoy your meal!
