Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans. - Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy—about 3 minutes. - Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. - Combine Wet and Dry:
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture. Mix until smooth. - Bake the Cakes:
Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely. - Make the Whipped Frosting:
