Let’s Bake!
1. Prep Work
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2. Dry Ingredients
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar
Cream together softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Flavorings
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
5. Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Don’t overmix!
6. Into the Oven
Pour batter into the prepared pan and gently tap to remove air bubbles.
7. Bake
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
Chocolate Crinkle Cake Variation:
Substitute ¼ cup of flour with unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate version!
