To make this simple white cake recipe, you will need:

-1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
-1 ½ cups sugar
-4 large eggs
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1 cup buttermilk

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Next, in a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite buttercream frosting. Dust with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy!
