Ingredients

To create this elegant cake, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bake your stunning white layer cake:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  9. After the cakes have completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite icing. A simple buttercream frosting would complement this cake beautifully.
  10. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

This White Layer Cake is perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or even just a special treat for yourself. Enjoy every bite!
