Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- Strawberries optional, sprinkled in sugar if preferred
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 baking dish and set aside. (A 12" x 17" half sheet pan works well for thinner slices.)
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla on medium speed.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add Milk: Stir in the milk and mix until smooth.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice and enjoy. If desired, top with strawberries sprinkled in sugar before serving.
