The Best Vanilla Cake Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until everything is well combined.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
