- 2 large eggs (room temperature)

- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup milk (room temperature)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups pastry/cake flour*
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

*To make homemade pastry/cake flour, for every cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons of flour and replace with cornstarch, sift to combine.
EXTRAS
- ½-¾ cup Nutella

Let cool for about 15 minutes before removing from the pans and cool completely before filling with the Nutella.
