Cake Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk room temperature

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
