Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

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

In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
