Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8-inch cake pan.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside.

Combine milk, 1 tablespoon butter, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; set aside.
4
Beat eggs in a bowl with a hand mixer until light yellow; slowly beat in white sugar on high speed. Stir in flour mixture until only a few large lumps of flour remain. Stir in warm milk mixture, continue stirring until smooth; pour into the prepared pan.
