To make this simple white cake, you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons of butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter-sugar mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Be sure to mix just until combined. Divide the batter between the two prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely. Frost the cooled cakes with your favorite buttercream frosting. Enjoy!
