Yellow Cake
Ingredients
- 360 g all-purpose flour, sifted
- 5 large eggs
- 2 C granulated sugar
- 8 oz unsalted butter, softened
- 1¼ C whole milk
- 1 tbs baking powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9" round cake pans and dust with flour.
- Mix Batter: Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the batter alternately with milk, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir in vanilla.
- Bake: Divide batter evenly between pans and bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25-28 minutes.
- Cool & Serve: Cool in pans briefly, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
