Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the creamed butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
