Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cup(s) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, sifted after measuring
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
1 cup(s) milk
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 - eggs
FROSTING I USE
2 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 tablespoon(s) sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans. In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add butter, milk and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, occasionally scraping sides of bowl.
Add eggs, beat for 3 more minutes. I also started adding a few drops of yellow food coloring, just an option...gives it a bit more yellow hue...
Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing equally among both.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Turn out and cool thoroughly on wire racks.I frosted with whip cream frosting. If using whip cream frosting the cake must be refrigerated. You can use chocolate frosting, which is usually the frosting of choice for yellow cake. I just wanted to be able to taste the moist cake, not just frosting.

Make the Frosting: Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until spreading consistency, adding a dab more milk if needed. Makes about 2 cups frosting. Frost between the layers, over the top and on the sides of cake.
