1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature*
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until blended after each addition. Divide batter evenly between pans (about 24 ounces each). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean 25 to 30 minutes.
