Classic yellow cake, everyones's favorite. Great cake for a birthday with buttercream or chocolate fudge frosting.

*Note: See recipe for Buttercream Frosting on this website under the Frostings category.

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk

Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round baking pans. Set aside.

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Set aside.

Beat sugar and butter in large mixer bowl at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition just until mixed.

Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 29 to 34 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen edge of cake by running knife around inside edge. Carefully remove cake from pan; cool completely.

I made the cake in a tube pan instead of layers and that may have made a difference in how it turned out but it came out dry. The taste is okay but it's not a moist cake recipe.

I made this about 2 weeks before thanksgiving and froze it. It baked up really nice, recipe was easy. I find that the texture improved after being at room temperature for about 2 days. Overall the taste is fine, a little dry when just baked but I would make it again for the kids.
