Ingredients

4 large eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
0.25 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat eggs on high speed until thick and pale yellow, approximately 3 minutes. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes very thick, about 5 minutes. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt mixture into the egg batter by hand until just combined.
Heat milk in a microwave-safe bowl until it just begins to bubble, around 1 minute. Add butter and stir until completely melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the hot milk mixture into the cake batter; mix on low speed until the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth. Pour evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
