  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until combined.

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
