Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Combine

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Step 6: Bake

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
