Old Fashioned Butter Cake

There’s nothing quite like the smell of butter cake baking in the oven. This old-fashioned recipe is a classic for a reason – it’s delicious!

2 C. All purpose flour

1 ¼ C. Granulated sugar

1 Tbsp. Baking powder

1 tsp. Salt

½ C. Softened butter

1 C. Milk

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

2 Large eggs

Icing of your choice

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease two cake pans well.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, vanilla and eggs until smooth.

Beat in the milk until a creamy and smooth batter has formed.

Separate the batter evenly between the two cake pans.

Bake for 30 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

Let the cakes cool on a rack and remove them from their pans.

Once cooled, place a layer of cake on a serving tray and top with a layer of icing.

Add the other layer of cake on top and ice the top and sides of the cake well before serving.
