The Best White Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350.
Grease and flour pans lightly. I used 2 9\" square. You should be able to use 2 8\"-9\" rounds just fine.
Cream together butter & extract.
Add sugar slowly until all is added and it is mixed well.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder and salt together twice.
Now add flour mixture, alternating between the milk and flour. Mixing well after each again.
Pour equal amounts into each pan and give it a tap on the counter to remove any air pockets.
Start checking at 25 minutes to prevent burning on the bottom and sides.
Keep checking every 5-10 minutes depending on the wetness of the tester.
If at 25 minutes the cake still wiggles when you open the door then you may need the full 30-40 minutes.
