For the Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp whole milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Make the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
