Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smoothly blended.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.

  2. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  3. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a bit before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra gooey texture, consider adding chocolate chips. Experiment with extracts and spices for different flavors. For a vegan version, replace the eggs and milk with plant-based alternatives.
