Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans. This step is tremendous for ensuring the cakes come out easily once baked.
-
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later. The combination plays a crucial role in giving your cake structure.
-
In another bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy. This tremendous step ensures that air is incorporated, resulting in a tender cake.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This method guarantees that each egg is properly blended into the mixture.
-
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. This will help maintain the luscious texture of the batter.
-
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Try to ensure that both layers are of equal thickness for a balanced cake.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Watch the cakes closely; achieving the perfect bake is tremendous for texture.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This ensures that they maintain their shape and prevents them from becoming soggy.
