Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans, line bottoms with parchment or wax paper, grease again and dust with flour.

Step 2

Whisk together eggs, ¼ cup milk and vanilla in a medium bowl. In the bowl of your mixer whisk the dry ingredients to blend. Add butter and remaining milk. Mix first on low speed, then increase to medium speed to combine everything. Scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Add the egg mixture in 3 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the sides. Fill batter into the prepared pans.

Step 4

Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then loosen the sides and invert onto wire racks. Cool completely before proceeding.
