In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 5
Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Step 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
