Steps

60 mins

1

For preparation, Preheat oven to 325F (160C.) Find (23cm) round cake pan that is 2" (5cm) tall and start spraying with cooking spray or using butter and flour. For added insurance, line the bottom with wax or parchment paper.
2

Now for the baking, Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Sit aside.
3

Cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Mix in vanilla. Add in flour mixture and beat for 1 minute on low speed or just until you no longer see any flour. Pour batter into pan and level.
4

Bake 40-45 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Center should read between 200F (93C) and 210F (99C.)
5

Cool in pan 10 minutes, remove and finish cooling on a wire rack completely before icing. This may take 1 hour or longer.
6

Finally for the frosting, Cream together butter and sugar, adding one spoonful at a time until all sugar is added. Beat in vanilla. Add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
7

Frost cake once completely cooled.
