A delightful and moist vanilla cake perfect for any celebration.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Ensure the pans are evenly greased to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
Add the milk, butter, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl to avoid shell pieces.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Tap the pans gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Rotate the pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Run a knife around the edges of the pans to loosen the cakes.
Frost and decorate the cake as desired once completely cooled.
Chill the cake layers in the fridge for easier frosting.
