Vanilla Cake (The Best)

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter two 8-inch (20-cm) springform pans and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer for 10 minutes or until thick, pale and triple in volume. Drizzle in the oil while beating.

4. 4

   At low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter into the pans and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from the pans and let completely cool on a wire rack. If necessary, cut and remove the cake tops to level each cake before frosting.
