Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 4-5 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Making the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). 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. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat only until the ingredients are incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Making the Frosting
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until all of the sugar has been added and the mixture is creamy. Add the cream and beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute more. The frosting should be thick and creamy. If it's too thick, add more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches desired consistency.
Assembling the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top of the cake. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. The cake can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
