4tablespoonsunsalted butter, plus more for pans

1 ½cupsall-purpose flour

2teaspoonsbaking powder

3large eggs, at room temperature (see Tip)

¼teaspoonsalt

1cupsugar

1teaspoonvanilla extract

Directions

Butter the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; line the bottoms with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine milk and 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the butter is just melted. Set the pan aside.

Stir flour and baking powder together, then sift onto a piece of parchment paper.

Bake in the center of the oven until golden and firm when touched in the center, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a wire racks for 10 minutes.

Run a sharp paring knife around the layers to loosen, then invert the pans onto the racks.

Immediately turn the layers over so they cool with the paper on the bottom. Let cool completely.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Wrap cooled cake airtight and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature.

Equipment: Two 9-inch round cake pans, parchment paper

To bring eggs to room temperature, either set them out on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge them (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes; the eggs will beat to a greater volume.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
