Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, starting and ending with flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
Do not overmix to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Pairs well with frosting, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
