Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 8" baking pans; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter, milk and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down sides. Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into prepared baking pans, dividing equally between the pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pans for 10 minutes and then turn out and cool on racks. Frost when cool.
Frosting: Melt butter, stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar with milk, beating on medium until spreading consistency. Add more milk if needed. Add vanilla and frost cooled cake.
