Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the softened butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well blended.

    Bake the Cakes

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
