Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) [or specified recipe temperature]. Lightly grease and flour your baking pans or line them with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).

In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (milk, buttermilk, or fruit juice) alternately to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.

Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool the cake layers in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with buttercream, glaze, or whipped cream. Slice and serve!
