Method

Baking the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your baking pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Incorporate the dry ingredients gradually into the wet mixture, alternating with milk.
