Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk

Instructions

To make this moist and delicious vanilla layer cake, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.

With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the confectioner's sugar, one cup at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Beat in the vanilla extract and milk or cream. Beat until light and fluffy.

To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate. Spread the top with the frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Serve immediately.
