Cake with soft butter

Components:

1. Two cups (400g) of granulated sugar and one cup (226g) of softened unsalted butter
2. Four big eggs
3. 315g (2 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
4. One spoonful of baking powder
5. Half a teaspoon of salt
6. One cup (240 milliliters) of milk
7. Two teaspoons of vanilla extract

Directions:

• Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and dust them with flour.
• In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Beat thoroughly after adding each egg one at a time. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a another basin.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually, switching between them and the milk. Add the flour mixture first and stir until just mixed.
• Smooth the tops of the pans after dividing the batter equally among them.
• A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean after 25 to 30 minutes of baking.
• After 10 minutes of cooling in the pans, move the cakes to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Advice:

• For a distinct taste, you can add almond extract or lemon zest.
• Before frosting, brush the cooled cakes with a simple syrup, which is made by boiling equal parts water and sugar until the sugar dissolves, to provide more moisture.
