Scale
2 cups All-purpose flour (or cake flour for a lighter cake)
1 ½ cups Sugar (or brown sugar for added moisture and flavor)
2 ½ tsp Baking powder (or baking soda in half the amount)
½ tsp Salt
½ cup Butter (1 stick, softened; or use vegetable oil for a lighter texture)
3 large Eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan version)
2 tsp Vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste for a richer flavor)
1 cup Milk (or almond or soy milk for dairy-free options)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
Pour and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Frost and Serve: Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing and enjoy your delicious vanilla cake!
