Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
If using, stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a healthier option, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour.
Add a glaze of powdered sugar mixed with a little milk for extra sweetness.
This recipe can be made into cupcakes for individual servings.
