Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your 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 large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

  • 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.

  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to 1 week.

  • Freezing: Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container or freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.

  • Reheating: Allow the cake to come to room temperature or heat in the microwave for a few seconds.
