Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven and grease the pans
Before you start making the cake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans with butter or nonstick spray and line them with parchment paper.
Step 2: Sift together the dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream together the butter and sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla
Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and beat for another minute until smooth.
Step 5: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk
Add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with two batches of the milk. Beat on low speed until just combined.
Step 6: Divide the batter between the pans and bake
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and frost
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
