Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep the Oven and Pans:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add Eggs:
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently and avoid overmixing.
Add Vanilla Extract:
- Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
Bake the Cake:
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Decorate:
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting and decorating.
