1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a small cake pan (6 or 8 inches).
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
