- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.

- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.

Notes
- For a healthier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Feel free to add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
