Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 stick of butter, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan with butter and dust it with flour. Set it aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. Set this dry mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Cream them together until the mixture becomes smooth, fluffy, and creamy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Also, mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Begin alternating the addition of the dry flour mixture and the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined after each addition.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the cake is golden and caramelized on the edges. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Once the cake has cooled, you can serve it plain or with your preferred toppings.
