Put salt, baking powder and 3 cups of flour in a bowl and whisk till they are combined. Use a mixer to beat 2 butter sticks with sugar until fluffy and light (around 3 minutes). Beat in one egg at a time, then the vanilla extract and the flour mixture. Remember to alternate with milk and flour. Continue mixing until the ingredients are all smooth and incorporated.

Add the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the cake has a lightly golden top (about 30 – 35 minutes). Once the cake is baked through, transfer it the a rack and let it cool down for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Make the frosting

The frosting can be easily made out of powdered sugar (3 cups), softened butter (1/3 cup), vanilla extract (1 1/2 teaspoons) and milk (1-2 tablespoons).

First you need to mix butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer or spoon. Then beat in one tablespoon of milk and vanilla. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of milk to obtain a smooth frosting.

Step 2: Stack cake layers on top of one another and crumb coat the cake

Cut the cake in two or three different layers (depending on its thickness). Use the cake board to carefully remove the first one or two layers. Put 1 scoop of frosting onto the cake layer and spread it evenly all over the layer.

Use the cake board to carefully lift and place it on top of the first frosting layer. Repeat the above steps to spread the frosting and stack the rest of the cake layers. Once all is complete, spread a thin layer of frosting all over the cake to crumb coat it.
