This vanilla cake is my absolute favorite for making fancy layer cakes.
I also love the flavor of this cakeclassic vanilla with the slight tang of buttermilk.
Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract together in a large measuring cup.

With the mixer on low speed, add the liquid mixture to the butter-flour mixture in two separate additions.
Beat well after each addition and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Continue mixing until you get a smooth batter.

Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and smooth the tops.
Tap the pans against the counters once or twice to force out any large air bubbles.
Set the cakes in the pans on wire racks and cool for 15 minutes.

Turn the cakes out of the pans and allow to cool completely.
