Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Step 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
