Homemade vanilla Butter Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

Procedure

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and set aside.
Prepare Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Add the eggs and continue to beat for an additional 2 minutes until well combined.
Bake:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
Turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, pour melted butter, sugar and vanilla mixture over the cake.
