Ingredients:
Before we dive into the instructions, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving a moist and tender cake.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until there are no dry lumps.
6. Stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips, if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, serve your breakfast cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
