2½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light, creamy, and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
Spread a generous layer of buttercream over the top.
Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides evenly.
Decorate with sprinkles, fresh fruit, piped frosting, or any pretty topping you love.
𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀
Make sure the butter is softened for a smooth batter and creamy frosting.
Do not overmix once the flour is added, so the cake stays soft and tender.
Let the cake layers cool completely before frosting.
For extra flavor, add a little almond extract or lemon zest to the batter.
For clean slices, chill the frosted cake for a little while before cutting.
