Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pan.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
- 3
Pour in the coconut milk (or whole milk) and vanilla extract, stirring gently until fully combined.
- 4
Gradually fold in the sifted flour and salt, mixing just until no dry streaks remain — take care not to overmix.
- 5
Add the baking powder last, folding it in with slow, sweeping strokes using a spatula to keep the batter airy.
- 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
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.
