How to cook deliciously - Classic Birthday Cake

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.

4. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely before frosting.
