Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
  • Combine sifted flour and baking powder in a bowl; set aside.
  • Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar; beat until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until just incorporated. Divide batter equally among the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely before frosting.
