- Butter and flour the sides of two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Line each pan bottom with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit pan.
- Into a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt together 3 times, and set aside.
- Using a mixer with the whisk attachment on medium speed, beat the butter until its light and fluffy (about 3 to 5 minutes).
- Add sugar and beat until blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- On low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk (starting and ending with the flour), scraping the bowl as needed.
- Beat just until blended.

- Remove from the oven, place pans on cooling racks and let cakes cool in the pans.
