• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9 inch round cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper.

   Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top. Place the second layer over it.
