12 teaspoon salt
1 12 cups sugar
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
34 cup milk
How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round baking pans. Set aside.
-
STEP 2
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in bowl. Set aside.
-
STEP 3
Beat sugar and butter in bowl at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until creamy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating at low speed after each addition just until mixed.
-
STEP 4
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake 30-34 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on cooling racks.
To avoid baking a dry cake always start with the low end of the baking time range listed. You can always add another couple minutes but there's no going back if it's overbaked.
-
STEP 5
Loosen edge of cake by running knife around inside edge. Carefully remove cake from pan; cool completely.
Tip #1
This cake works well with most frostings, we're partial to chocolate but try any of these from our Frosting Recipes Collection.
