1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand.
4. Add the Egglands Best, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in a denser cake.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
9. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting or serve them as they are for a delightful vanilla treat. This cake base pairs well with various frostings such as buttercream, cream cheese, or even a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
11. Prepare yourself for a slice of pure bliss as you savor the moist, melt-in-your-mouth goodness of the Best Ever Vanilla Cake Base. Enjoy!
