Directions
-
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square cake pan.
-
Cream sugar and butter together in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
-
Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well. Add milk and stir until smooth.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly touched, 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
Recipe Tip
A 10-inch round pan will produce similar results. To make cupcakes, line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
