Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease my trusty 9×13 inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Then, I add in the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is smooth and fully blended. The batter is surprisingly easy to work with and has a lovely, rich consistency! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
