Add milk, oil and vanilla and beat for another minute, just until the batter is smooth and creamy.
3. Pour batter into the greased baking pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool for 10 mins in the pan and then remove it and cool on cooling rack.Apply frosting after that.
