Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar, creaming them together until light and fluffy. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Now, slowly incorporate the flour and baking powder into the mixture until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
