Bobby's Caramel Cake

Preheat oven to 350 °. Grease and flour 3 (9 in) cake pans. Using electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy. Add 2 cups granulated sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and 1 cup milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4 inches above the counter and dropping it flat on to the counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
