Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. 2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. 5. Stir in the caraway seeds until well incorporated. 6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. 7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

Caraway Seed Cake can be served plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. It pairs well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. For an extra touch, you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Variations

• Lemon Caraway Seed Cake: Add the zest of one lemon to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
• Caraway Seed Pound Cake: Replace half of the all-purpose flour with cake flour for a denser texture.
• Caraway Seed Loaf: Bake the batter in a loaf pan instead of a round cake pan for a different shape.
