Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for incorporating air, which gives the cake its tremendous rise.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps to fully integrate each egg into the batter, ensuring a smooth texture.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture, which includes the salt and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser cake rather than the tender crumb you desire.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. This will help the cake rise evenly.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You want your cake to have that beautiful golden color—a true sign of a tremendous bake.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is important to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
