Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the butter, continuing to beat until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the pure vanilla extract.

Step 7

With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 10

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