By replacing butter with olive oil, we retain the richness while introducing a subtle, distinct flavor.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is creamy and light in color. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour. This will help to remove any lumps and create a smoother batter.
Gradually add the sifted flour mixture into the egg mixture in small batches, mixing well after each addition. Continue until the flour is fully incorporated.
Pour in the milk and olive oil into the batter. Mix until well combined and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cool, slice and serve as is, or you can frost and decorate as desired!
Congratulations! You've just made a delectable No Butter Cake that’s both healthy and irresistibly delicious. This cake is proof that you don’t need butter to bake a moist, flavorful dessert. Enjoy your creation with a glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
