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

    Add eggs and vanilla

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

    Combine mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until well combined.

    Pour into pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
