Beat together sugar and butter at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Alternately beat flour mixture and milk into butter mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake cake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes.
