-
Preheat oven to 350.
-
Grease and flour pans lightly. I used 2 9" square. You should be able to use 2 8"-9" rounds just fine.
-
Cream together butter & extract.
-
Add sugar slowly until all is added and it is mixed well.
-
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder and salt together twice.
-
Now add flour mixture, alternating between the milk and flour. Mixing well after each again.
-
Pour equal amounts into each pan and give it a tap on the counter to remove any air pockets.
-
Start checking at 25 minutes to prevent burning on the bottom and sides.
-
Keep checking every 5-10 minutes depending on the wetness of the tester.
-
If at 25 minutes the cake still wiggles when you open the door then you may need the full 30-40 minutes.
