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.
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
Substitute whole milk with buttermilk for extra tenderness.
