Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pans to ensure the cakes come out perfectly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for incorporating air into the mixture, resulting in light cakes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well combined, ensuring a smooth batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them as they are, or add your favorite glaze or toppings!

Notes

  • Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Mix just until combined to keep your cakes light and fluffy.
  • Fresh baking powder and vanilla can make a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
  • Always do the toothpick test to ensure your cakes are cooked through.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting or glazing to avoid melting.
