Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beating until just combined after each addition.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and then let it cool completely. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make the cake even more moist, you can add a layer of pudding to the cake before frosting it.
