Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Bake Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool Cake
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
