Ingredients

1 c. unsalted butter
1 3/4 c. sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
3 c. cake flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. fine salt
1 1/2 c. buttermilk

Instructions

Bring cold ingredients to room temperature. Butter should be soft enough to hold a thumbprint but still keep its shape. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
Beat in 4 eggs plus 2 yolks, one at a time, until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
In another large bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low, add 1/3 the flour mixture to butter mixture, beating to combine.
Beat in 3/4 cup buttermilk, another 1/3 the flour mixture, another 3/4 cup buttermilk, and remaining flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down bowl as needed. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
