Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air for a tender cake.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently but thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  5. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut the cake into bars for serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a tough texture.
  • Allow the cake to cool fully before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • For added flavor and texture, consider sprinkling shredded coconut on top before baking.
