Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour one 8 in. baking pan and set aside. I used a square pan.
2

In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3

Add butter, milk and vanilla. With mixer beat for two minutes, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl.
4

Add eggs and beat for two more minutes.
5

Pour batter into prepared pan(s), dividing equally if using two. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven.
6

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then turn out to cooling rack, cool completely.
7

Frost with your favorite frosting. I used the chocolate frosting on the back of the Hersey's cocoa can.
