Butter Cake Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cake

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
