Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two round cake pans.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Cream the softened butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture, alternating with milk until smooth.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
