Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 3 layer cakes
List of Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups sifted self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans. Using an electric mixer, cream
butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8
minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with
flour. Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed. Divide batter
equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 3 or
4 inches above counter, then dropping it flat onto counter. Do this
several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes.
Invert cakes onto cooling racks. Cool completely and spread cake layers
with your favorite frosting to make a 3-layer cake.
