Vanilla Butter Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon white vinegar
almost 1 cup milk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt (cut back if you use salted butter!)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add one Tablespoon vinegar to a one cup measuring cup and fill with milk to measure one cup (that explains the almost one cup milk!).
Grease and flour pans (9X13, 3=8\", 2=9\", or 1=10\").
Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Mix the vanilla into the milk and set aside.
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl.
Add flour to butter/sugar/eggs in two parts, alternating with the milk mixture, beating well after each addition.
Divide batter into prepared pans.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.
Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
