Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Boil Together: In a small saucepan, combine the oil, milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Sift Together: In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- Beat Together: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5-6 minutes.

- Add Boiled Mixture: Slowly pour the slightly cooled oil, milk, and water mixture into the batter, mixing until smooth.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain its light texture.
