Ingredients
12 Servings
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g baking powder
- 400 g granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 g salt
- 225 g unsalted butter
- 10 ml vanilla extract
- 240 ml whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
