Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch rectangular pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans or pour it all into the rectangular pan. Smooth the tops with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost and decorate as desired, or enjoy plain for a classic taste of buttery goodness.
