Ingredients
- flour: 1 cup - all-purpose, spooned and leveled
- sugar: 1 cup - granulated
- eggs: 2 large - room temperature
- butter: 1/2 cup - unsalted, melted
- vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- baking powder: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
Tip: Ensure the oven reaches the correct temperature before baking for consistent results.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
Tip: Use a fine mesh sieve to aerate the flour and avoid lumps.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Tip: Ensure the butter has cooled slightly to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
Tip: Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Tip: Tap the dish gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: Rotate the dish halfway through baking for even browning.
- Allow the dessert to cool in the dish for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: Resting helps the dessert firm up and makes it easier to slice.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Sifting dry ingredients helps prevent lumps in the batter.
- For a golden crust, consider brushing the top with melted butter before baking.
- Use a toothpick to test doneness; it should come out clean.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
