Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium, beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. (Mixture may look separated at this point.) Beat in flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with flour, just until smooth.
