Indulge in this layer cake topped with rich buttercream—a cake frosting recipe lover’s dream. I use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Line bottoms of 2 greased 9-in. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour into prepared pans, dividing batter evenly. For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and vanilla until blended.
