Add sugar to the butter and mix with a hand mixer on high speed for 3-4 minutes until creamy.

Add eggs one or two at a time, mixing well before adding the next one.

Scrape down the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.

Add vanilla extract and mix it in.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and fold in gently.

Add the remaining dry ingredients and continue to fold until well mixed.

Add milk and mix gently until combined.

Spray a pan with baking spray and add the batter, spreading it evenly.

Drop the pan on the countertop to release air bubbles and even out the batter.

Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes.

After 35 minutes, check the cake and ensure it is done.

Go around the edges of the cake to ensure it isn't sticking to the pan.

Turn the cake over and place it into a fall pan lined with wax or parchment paper.
