Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with baking spray or greasing and flouring it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one by one, mixing briefly after each addition to incorporate them well.
Mix in the sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract on low speed until everything is just combined. (It's normal for the batter to appear slightly curdled.)
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Take care not to overmix.
Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing results.
You can add a streusel topping for extra texture and flavor if desired.
The cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
