Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Mix in vanilla extract for a fragrant, buttery base.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the room-temperature whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or serve plain. Enjoy your perfect French butter cake!
