Baking a cake is one of the most popular ways to celebrate special occasions. Whether it's a birthday, wedding, or just a dessert craving, a homemade cake is always a hit. In this recipe, we will guide you through the process of making a delicious and moist cake that will impress your guests.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 2 cups granulated sugar - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened - 4 large eggs, room temperature - 1 cup buttermilk - 1 tsp baking powder - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 1/2 tsp salt - 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting them with flour. 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. 3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. 6. Stir in the vanilla extract. 7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. 8. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. 9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. 10. Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite frosting or decorate them as desired.
