1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional Additions

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy.
Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
