Add the eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. 6. Combine the mixtures: Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Add vanilla extract, if desired.
Pour into the pan: Transfer the batter to the greased pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
