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

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure even distribution.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated before adding the next.

Alternately add the milk and the flour mixture to the butter-sugar-egg mix, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.

Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes are completely cool, frost your choice of frosting on top and decorate as desired with edible glitter or themed decorations.
