Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Pans

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

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

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

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

  6. 6

    Divide and Bake

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Once cooled, you can frost and decorate the cakes as desired or serve plain.
