Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Melt ½ cup of butter over low heat and allow to cool slightly.
Mix melted butter with both sugars until smooth, then add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; fold this into the wet ingredients.
