I sift my flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl and set it to the side till I’m ready for it.
I also add my vanilla to my milk and stir it.
Beat the sugar and butter for about 3-5 mins. Add the eggs one at a time until blended in, I then add a cup of the flour and half of the milk (combining together with a spatula/spoon), then repeat with the flour and rest of the milk, then finish with the last cup of flour. After it is blended in, I use the mixer again for about 2/3 minutes.
Use 3, 8, or 9-inch layer pans.
I spray, dust with flour, and cut out circles of parchment paper and put them in the bottom of the pan.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 min.
