Makes one 9 x 13-inch sheet cake or 24 cupcakes

-INGREDIENTS-
The things you will need is;@

1 1 ∕ 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond meal (optional)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ∕ 4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) plus 2 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
1 1 ∕ 2 cups superfine sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk

-DIRECTIONS-
Let's Get Started

1) Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F.Grease a 9 x 13-inch metal baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, grease the paper, and flour the pan. (Or see the cupcake variation below.)

2) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3) In a second large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter until softened. Add the superfine sugar and beat until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4) Beat in the vanilla.

5) Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

6) On low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

7) Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the bottom of the pan on the work surface to get rid of any air bubbles.

8) Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

9) Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. If necessary, loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a small knife. Carefully flip the cake upside down onto the rack, peel off the parchment paper, and then turn the cake right side up onto the rack to cool completely.

Butter Cupcakes: Line 24 cups of 2 muffin tins with paper liners and fill two-thirds full with batter. (Or use 1 muffin tin and bake in two batches.) Bake at 350°F until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
