- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes cool, beat together softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to reach your desired frosting consistency.
- Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving platter, spread frosting on top, and add the second layer. Frost the top and sides and garnish as desired.
