Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in Dry Ingredients and Milk:
Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Prepare the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting:
In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, adjusting the consistency with additional sugar or milk as needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable frosting.
Frost the Cake:
Once the cake is completely cooled, evenly spread the frosting over the top.
Cut into squares and serve. For a special touch, garnish with edible flowers or sprinkles.
Enjoy your Heavenly White Snack Cake as a delightful treat that brings a touch of sweetness to any occasion!
