Ingredients

This is a delicious recipe for a vanilla wedding cake. You will need the following ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-3 drops of food coloring (optional)

For the frosting, you will need:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
food coloring (optional)

Instructions

This recipe is pretty easy and you can make it in a few simple steps.

First, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the vanilla and food coloring (if using) and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cream and vanilla and mix until combined. If you are using food coloring, add it now and mix until combined.

Spread the frosting between the two cake layers and on the sides and top of the cake. Serve and enjoy!
