To start, you will need some basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder and vanilla extract. You can also add in any flavorings or decorations you would like for your cake. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the recipe you are using. Once it is preheated, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (butter, eggs, milk and vanilla extract). Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until all of the ingredients are combined. Grease and line your cake pan with parchment paper or greaseproof paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake according to the instructions on your recipe. Allow your cake to cool before adding any frosting or decorations. Enjoy!
