Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease two 9-inch cake pans.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.

Using a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.

Gradually alternate adding flour mixture and milk, mixing until just combined.

Divide batter evenly between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Let cool before frosting with your favorite icing.
