Step-by-Step Method

1. Preheat and Prepare

2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
