Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sour cream
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter, ensuring every corner gets greased thoroughly.
- Grab a medium bowl and whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until no lumps remain.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup butter and 2 cups sugar together for 3-4 minutes until the mixture looks pale and fluffy.
- Crack 4 eggs into the butter mixture, adding them one at a time and mixing completely after each egg.
- Pour 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the batter and blend smoothly.
- Gradually incorporate your dry ingredient mixture and 1 cup milk, mixing on low speed to maintain a silky texture.
- Tenderly fold ½ cup sour cream into the batter, stirring just until combined.
- Transfer your batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 35-40 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
- Once baked, remove the cake and let it rest in the pan for 15 minutes to settle.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for the smoothest, most even cake texture.
- Check cake doneness by gently pressing the center – it should spring back when touched.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend.
- Wrap leftover cake tightly in plastic wrap to maintain moisture and freshness for 3-4 days.
