Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is, or top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or your favorite fruit. Enjoy!
