Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cake Pans

    Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

  3. 5

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 6

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Baking

  1. 7

    Pour Batter into Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  2. 8

    Bake the Cake

    Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling

  1. 9

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
