Equipment
- Oven
- Mixing bowls
- Cake pans
- Whisk
- Mixer
- Wire rack
- Serrated knife
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (375g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (230g)
- 2 cups granulated sugar (400g)
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk (240ml)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, mixing just until incorporated. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When assembling the cake, be sure to level the tops of the cakes using a serrated knife. This will guarantee a smooth and even surface for the frosting.
- Use a high-quality buttercream or cream cheese frosting to coat the cake, and consider adding a simple white ganache drip for an extra touch of elegance.
