Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles
- Frosting (whipped frosting or buttercream)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour your cake pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or sprinkles, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, frost and decorate as desired.
Notes
Ensure not to overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to avoid a dense cake. Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve a smoother batter.
