Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add in the milk.

Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
