- 3 eggs
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (about 4 fl oz)
- 7 tbsp vegetable oil (neutral oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 sachet (about 4 tsp) baking powder
Steps for the Super Easy Soft Cake
Start by beating the eggs together with the sugar using electric beaters, continuing until the volume has doubled and you have a light, pale and fluffy mixture.
At this point, slowly add the vegetable oil and the milk in a thin stream, and stir in the vanilla extract.Sift the all-purpose flour and the baking powder, folding them into the rest of the ingredients little by little. Use a spatula or wooden spoon for the final steps, gently folding from the bottom up so as not to deflate the batter.
Transfer the batter to a buttered and floured 8.7–9.4-inch (22/24 cm) diameter pan. Bake in a preheated conventional oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 35 minutes. Always check doneness with a toothpick.Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
The cake is ready to be enjoyed.

Storage
To keep your cake fragrant for several days, follow these simple tips:
Store the cake under a glass dome or in an airtight container; this way it will stay soft for 3-4 days. If it is very warm, you can refrigerate it, remembering to leave it at room temperature for ten minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can freeze it already sliced to have a quick snack ready at any time: just put it in the oven for one minute to restore its softness.
