- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two small round cake pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each addition.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined to maintain fluffiness.
- Gently fold in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown; check doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool completely before decorating or serving.
