Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups Milk (preferably whole milk or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option)
• 0.5 cups Plain yogurt (or unsweetened applesauce for a vegan version)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Step 5

Begin alternating between adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture. Start with one-third of the dry ingredients, then add half of the milk. Repeat until all ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the plain yogurt (or unsweetened applesauce if using) until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Frost and decorate the cake as desired. This cake pairs beautifully with vanilla buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or fresh whipped cream. Slice and serve!
