In this recipe article, we will guide you through baking a SAFE cake for Eponine’s 1st birthday so that everyone can enjoy a tasty treat without any concerns.

Ingredients:

-1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-3/4 cups granulated sugar
-1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
-2 eggs, room temperature
-1/2 cup milk
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or oil, then dust it with flour. This will help to ensure that the cake releases easily from the pan after baking.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

3. In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Then add the vanilla extract and mix again briefly.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, then the cake is done.

7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing and frosting it.
