Grease three 8-inch rounds with coconut oil (or butter) and preheat your oven to 350°F.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, blend sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour wet into dry, mix until smooth, and bake for 25–30 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).
Let cakes cool completely. Use a cake leveling tool to trim the tops for flat layers.
