The Smith Family's 1. Layer Cake Position racks in the center and bottom third of the oven and preheat to 3. Lightly butter four 8 1/2- to 9- inch cake pans (you will bake the cakes in three batches) and line the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper. Flour the pans and tap out the excess. To make the layers, sift together the sifted flour, baking powder and salt.
Sift the mixture one more time, and set aside. Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of a heavy- duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle blade on high speed until light in color and texture, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Scrape down the bowl and be sure the mixture is well- blended. On low speed, add the flour in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions of the milk, beginning and ending with the flour, and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla. Using a scant cup for each layer, spread the batter evenly in the pans. It will make a thin layer.
