- 200 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 g salt
- 115 g unsalted butter

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
