Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Opt for high-quality flour.
  • 1 cup Sugar Granulated sugar works best.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Use fresh baking powder.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt A pinch enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Softened.
  • 3 large Eggs Use large eggs for consistency.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla extract.
  • 1 cup Milk Whole milk for richness.

Method
 

Prepare the Oven and Pans
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter and dust with flour.
Mixing the Batter
  1. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients
  1. Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until no streaks of flour remain.
Bake Your Cake
  1. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch.
Cool and Serve
  1. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
