Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

Combine the dry ingredients with the creamed mixture gradually, alternating with milk, blending for 2-3 minutes until just combined.

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan, filling it about halfway.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
