- 1.5 cups granulated sugar Adds sweetness and moisture to the cake.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder Helps the cake rise for a light and fluffy texture.

Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Collect all your ingredients: flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and milk. Don’t forget a pinch of salt!
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly and rises beautifully.
Step 3: Prepare Your Baking Pan
- Grease and flour a round cake pan. This will help your cake slide out easily once it’s baked.
Step 4: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
Step 5: Cream the Butter and Sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This adds air to your batter for a lovely texture!
Step 6: Add the Eggs and Vanilla
- Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for that delightful flavor.
Step 7: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined; don’t overmix!
Step 8: Pour into the Pan
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. It’s okay if it’s not perfect; it’ll rise beautifully!
Step 9: Bake the Cake
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Step 10: Check for Doneness
- Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, your cake is ready. If not, give it a few more minutes.
Step 11: Cool the Cake
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12: Frost and Enjoy!
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing and enjoy a slice of your delightful Butterflu Cake!
