VANILLA CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM

THIS CLASSIC VANILLA CAKE PAIRS FLUFFY VANILLA CAKE LAYERS WITH A SILKY VANILLA BUTTERCREAM. THE PERFECT CAKE FOR BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS, OR ANY OCASION!
I can’t believe I’m only just now posting a vanilla cake recipe. I always thought that there were so many of these recipes out there that I’d stick to more unique ones. But really, I think the world needs my version of this simple, classic, delicious flavour combination.
Truthfully, most of my cakes use this vanilla buttermilk cake recipe, but I’ve never paired it with a vanilla buttercream. I know it’s easy enough for some people to grab a cake recipe from one post and a frosting recipe from another, but for those of us that are a little less comfortable mixing and matching for fear of epic failures, I’m putting it together for you into one recipe!
