Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add butter and milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, until smooth and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Frost the cooled cake and enjoy!
