Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan (8 or 9 inches).
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined (avoid overmixing).

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decoration (Optional):
Once the cake is cooled, you can decorate it with frosting, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
Use edible glitter, sprinkles, or edible decorations in gold, silver, or colors representing the New Year.
