Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 container white frosting (optional, for extra sweetness and decoration)
  • Red and white sparkling sugar (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Frost (optional): Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread a layer of white frosting on top if desired.
  8. Decorate with Sparkling Sugar: Sprinkle the red and white sparkling sugar evenly over the frosting, creating a festive, sparkly effect.
