1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4
Add Eggs
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
5
Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
6
Bake the Cakes
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
