Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). This step helps make the cake nice and airy.
Step 3: Add Eggs & Vanilla
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Mix Dry & Wet
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
