Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper, then grease with butter and flour.

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter, milk, and vanilla and beat on medium high speed for several minutes until smooth and light, scraping down the sides of bowl as necessary. Add the eggs and mix on high for an additional 2 minutes.

Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
