Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 4-inch cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost and decorate as desired before serving.
