How to Make Simplest Cake In The World

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (175°C fan-forced/390°F). Line a 9-inch round cake tin with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the fruit.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin.
  8. Bake at 200°C (175°C fan-forced/390°F) for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 175°C (150°C fan-forced/350°F) and bake for another 20 minutes.
  9. Finally, reduce the oven temperature to 140°C (120°C fan-forced/285°F) and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check frequently after the initial 40 minutes.)
  10. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
