Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade buttermilk cake!
