Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (or gas mark 5), ensuring that the temperature is evenly distributed. This is an essential step for achieving an even bake of the cake, giving it a fluffy texture and a golden appearance. In a large bowl, use a whisk to mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar well. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined to avoid lumps in the batter.
In another bowl, gently beat the egg using a whisk or a fork until it becomes uniform. Then, add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy composition. It is important that the wet ingredients are well integrated, as this will contribute to the moisture and flavor of the cake.
Once the wet mixture is ready, start gradually incorporating the dry ingredients. Use a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon to gently mix, being careful not to overbeat the batter. It is normal for the batter to have a slightly grainy texture; don’t worry, it will smooth out during baking.
Prepare a round or triangular heat-resistant baking pan by greasing it with a little oil to prevent the cake from sticking. Carefully pour the mixture into the pan, ensuring that it is evenly distributed. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. It is recommended to check the cake with a toothpick; if it comes out clean from the center, it means it is ready.
After removing the pan from the oven, let the cake cool at room temperature for at least 10-15 minutes to stabilize. Then, slice it and serve. This cake can be enjoyed plain, or you can accompany it with a filling of jam, melted chocolate, or whipped cream, depending on your preferences. It is a simple yet extremely delicious recipe, perfect for any occasion!
