2 sticks unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not over beat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended.

  • To assemble:
