Grease and flour a ring mold or your cake pans of choice.
Preheat the oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC).
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with beaters, cream the butter.
Add the sugar to the butter mixture and cream along with the butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in the vanilla until you have a smooth mixture.
Mix in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
Mix in the milk and stir until you have a thick smooth mixture.
Spread the batter into the cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool then remove from the pan.
