Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together with an electric mixer until fluffy and pale, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Whisk the milk and vanilla into the egg mixture until smooth. Gently fold in the flour mixture until the batter is lump-free.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter. Pour in the prepared cake batter and tap the dish gently to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Let the cake cool completely before adding the milk mixture for best absorption.
You can top the cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit for extra flavor and decoration.
This cake can be made a day ahead as it tastes better when chilled overnight.
