Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13 baking dish with baker’s spray.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat, stirring until melted and the milk simmers. Mix in the vanilla.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a stand mixer or bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on medium high speed for about 4 ½ to 5 minutes until pale yellow.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and incorporate the flour mixture, adding it ½ cup at a time.
Slowly drizzle in the milk and butter mixture with the mixer on low until just combined. The batter may be thin.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Begin checking with a toothpick at the 27-minute mark.
Let the cake cool completely before dusting it with powdered sugar and slicing into 12 even servings.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
Check the cake regularly towards the end of baking to avoid overcooking.
For an extra touch, serve with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
