Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. This prevents the cake from sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air, creating a tender crumb. (6-7 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. This ensures even distribution of the baking powder for a consistent rise. (1 minute)

05

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. (3 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. (1 minute)

07

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Rotate the pans halfway through baking to ensure even browning. (28-32 minutes)

For an enhanced vanilla flavor, consider using vanilla bean paste in addition to or instead of vanilla extract.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smooth batter.
To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper rounds in addition to greasing and flouring.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
