Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Frosting (optional)
  • Frosting of choice Cream cheese, buttercream, or whipped cream are great options.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  3. Frost as desired and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to three months. Make sure to not overmix the batter, add flavors like lemon zest or chocolate chips for a twist, and allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
