1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add sugar and mix until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
