Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Step 2: Preheat Your Oven
  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and warm when your batter is ready.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps everything blend smoothly!
Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugar
  1. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy. It should look light and inviting!

Step 6: Combine Mixtures
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 7: Pour Batter into Pans
  1. Divide the batter evenly between greased cake pans. Smooth the tops for a beautiful finish!
Step 8: Bake the Cake
  1. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they’ll be golden and delicious!
Step 9: Cool the Cakes
