Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
5. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and spread it out with a spatula.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Frost the cooled cakes with your favorite frosting and serve. Enjoy!
