Ingredients
Scale
240 grams of cake flour
200 grams of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
115 grams of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 large eggs
180 milliliters of milk
120 grams of sour cream
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
90 grams of mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prep and preheat: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Prepare a 9 inch round cake pan by greasing with butter or coating with nonstick spray, then line the bottom with parchment for easy release. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Let butter sit about 30 minutes ahead to improve texture.
Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Sifting isn’t mandatory, but it helps break up any clumps and aerates the mixture for a lighter bake. If you don’t have a sifter, whisk vigorously for 60 seconds.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted cooled butter, sugar, and vanilla until well combined and a bit pale in color. Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to emulsify. Then whisk in the milk and sour cream until glossy and uniform. Fold in lemon zest if using.
Combine wet and dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches. Use a spatula and a light touch to avoid overworking the batter. Fold in mini chocolate chips after roughly combined.
Bake to perfection: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Rotate if oven runs cool for even color.
Cooling and testing doneness: Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Wait to frost until fully cooled.
Optional finish: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with vanilla bean ice cream. For a glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla; drizzle lightly. A berry compote pairs well for tart brightness.
