  • Preheat the oven to 175-180°C and prepare the pans (2 round cakes of 9”, 22-24 cupcakes, 2 square cakes of 8” or 1 cake of 9*13”.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter with the sugar on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy and pale, then add the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • On low speed, add the buttermilk* and mix (the batter will look curdled). Add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, beating well after each addition.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and tap it several times to remove air bubbles. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges. Remove from the pan and let cool for about 1 hour.
  • How to prepare the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and vanilla on low speed. If it’s too runny, you can refrigerate it before using to make it more consistent.
