• 1 3/4 cups cake flour, not self-rising


• 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour


• 2 cups sugar


• 2 tablespoons baking powder


• 3/4 teaspoon salt


• 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes


• 4 large eggs


• 1 cup whole milk


• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

3. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.


4. Add eggs, one at a time.


5. In a large glass measuring cup add milk and vanilla.


6. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.
