Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar mixture, beating until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

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

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
