Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Frosting:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tsp milk (additional as needed)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation Time:

• Preparation Time: 15 minutes
• Baking Time: 25-30 minutes
• Frosting Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 50-55 minutes

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures an even rise and fluffy texture in your cake.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Creaming creates a tender crumb, crucial for this light cake texture.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

1. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. This step helps trap air, adding to the cake’s fluffiness.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the cake’s flavor.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. On low speed, gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
2. Pour in the milk, then add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing gently. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser cake.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
2. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Once done, remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until smooth.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.
3. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. If it’s too thick, add a few extra drops of milk.

Step 8: Frost the Cake

1. Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
2. Slice, serve, and enjoy the delicate flavors of this Heavenly White Snack Cake.
