🛒 Ingredients

10 servings

10
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup (200 ml) coconut milk or whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) softened unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the coconut milk (or whole milk) and vanilla extract, stirring gently until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Gradually fold in the sifted flour and salt, mixing just until no dry streaks remain — take care not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Add the baking powder last, folding it in with slow, sweeping strokes using a spatula to keep the batter airy.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.

💡 Chef's Tip

Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for an effortless, elegant finish. For extra moisture, brush the warm cake with a simple lemon syrup (juice of half a lemon mixed with 2 tablespoons of sugar). Use plant-based butter and oat or almond milk to make it fully vegan.
