1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar 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 Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool and Serve
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before serving.
