Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
3. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
