Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300g)
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted (360g)
1 tablespoon baking powder (12g)
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk (240ml)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
Beat the softened butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
