Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
