Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
