1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.

2 . Stage

Combine sifted flour and baking powder in a bowl; set aside.

3 . Stage

Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar; beat until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until just incorporated. Divide batter equally among the prepared pans.
