– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup whole milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Divide the batter equally among the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost and assemble your Tall Vanilla Cake to perfection. For the frosting, a classic buttercream or a fluffy whipped cream would complement the vanilla flavor beautifully. Decorate with sprinkles, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
