Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix — just until smooth.
-
Pour batter into prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
-
While cake is baking, make the glaze: whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth and pourable.
-
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the top using a skewer or fork. Pour the glaze evenly over the hot cake, letting it soak in.
-
Let it cool before serving (if you can wait!). The glaze forms a sweet, dreamy crust on top. 🍰
💡 Tips to Elevate It Even More:
-
Add lemon zest or coconut flakes for a flavor twist
-
Use a Bundt pan and let the glaze drip down beautifully
-
Serve with berries and whipped cream for a heavenly brunch treat
-
Store covered at room temp for up to 3 days (but it rarely lasts that long!)
This cake is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser — easy to make, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and totally addictive. You’ll understand why someone said, “This was probably sent straight from heaven.” 😍
