Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Add the evaporated milk to the butter mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just moistened; do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
