INGREDIENTS

2½ cups all-purpose flour
2¼ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
1⅔ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk

INSTRUCTIONS

Sift 2½ cups all-purpose flour, 2¼ tsp baking powder, and ¾ tsp salt into a bowl and whisk together.
In a separate bowl, mix ¾ cup room temperature unsalted butter with a stand mixer.
When the butter is nice and smooth, add in 1 ⅔ cups granulated sugar and mix for 3 minutes.
Beat in three eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar. Once all the eggs are incorporated, add 1 tbsp of vanilla.
Set aside 1 cup of buttermilk and add the flour into the eggs in small portions. Add ⅓ cup of buttermilk after the flour is mixed and keep alternating until your flour and buttermilk are empty. Finish mixing by hand with a spatula.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prep two 8 inch pans before pouring your batter in the pans. Bake for 30 minutes.
