Whisk the flour with the baking powder, then add to the batter in three additions alternating with the whole milk, mixing just until smooth.

Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean, then cool completely on a wire rack.

For the frosting, melt 1/2 cup butter with the brown sugar and evaporated milk in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy.
