How to Make Layer Cake Vanilla
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Frost and decorate as desired!
