2 1/2 cups sifted Cake Flour
3 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

Sift flour with baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir shortening just to soften. Add flour mixture, 3/4 cup milk, and the vanilla. Mix until all flour is moistened; then beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer or 300 vigorous strokes by hand, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and remaining 1/4 cup milk; beat 1 minute longer in mixer or 150 strokes by hand. Pour batter into two 9-inch layer pans which have been lined on bottoms with waxpaper. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes, or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes; then remove from pans and finish cooling on racks. Alternate Baking Pans: This cake may also be baked in three 8-inch layer pans at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes, or in a 1 3 x 9-inch pan for 30 to 35 minutes.
