Ingredients You’ll Need
The beauty of this recipe is its absolute simplicity. You likely have everything you need right in your pantry.
The Core Six:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour: The sturdy, classic foundation.
1 cup granulated sugar: For that perfect, nostalgic sweetness.
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder & ¼ teaspoon salt: The gentle leavening agents for a beautiful, even rise.
2 large eggs: The binding heroes that provide structure and richness.
½ cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tang): For a tender, moist crumb.
⅓ cup pure, cold-pressed avocado oil: Here is my secret twist! Since I have a strong personal preference for avocados, I use avocado oil instead of butter. It keeps the cake incredibly moist for days and is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
