1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking.
2
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and unsalted butter. Use an electric mixer to cream them together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start with the dry, mix until just combined, then add some milk, and repeat until everything is mixed in.

6
Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
7
Pour and Spread the Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
8
Bake the Cake
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
