Best Cake EVER

A throwback to my 7th birthday party.

 Today is my 30th Birthday. Hard to really think that it has already been 30 years. I have had so many blessings in my life so far and look forward to what the next 30+ years will bring. In honor of my birthday I will share one of my favorite recipes for birthday cake. Sorry there are no pictures of the process, but I thought I would take the day off.  Happy Birthday!

• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar 
• 1/2 cup butter. softened 
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk

• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9" round pan.
2. Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, ans milk into a mixing bowl.
3. Beat slowly to moisten, then beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
