### **Instructions**
#### **1. Preheat and Prepare**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
#### **3. Combine the Wet Ingredients**
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
#### **4. Create the Batter**
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
#### **6. Bake to Perfection**
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
