Karen's Delicious Yellow Cake

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 2/3 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Cream butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time; mix in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured square baking pans, 9x1 3/4 inches. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in pans 15 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack before frosting. You can also use a 9 x 13 pan also works well.

Enjoy!!
