Preparation

    Preheat the Oven

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

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

    In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

Baking

    Pour Batter into Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    Once the cakes are cool, you can dust the top with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries and whipped cream if desired.
