This cake is super moist, has a beautiful crumb, and will be able to be eaten all week long without drying up. You will start by creaming butter and sugar until it’s nice and fluffy, depending on your mixer this will take about 5 minutes. Add the eggs in one at a time so that they can incorporate and you want to make sure that these eggs are at room temperature.

Once you can’t see any eggs in the butter mixture, you will start adding the dry ingredients. In a bowl, you will lightly mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, on the side, you will need buttermilk to that, add in oil and vanilla. You will start alternating the flour and the liquids into the butter mixture in batches while mixing just until combined and there are no lumps in the batter.

Do not overbeat the batter. Once the batter is ready, you can add anything that you want to this cake from dried fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or purees. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit then brush the inside of the pan with butter then add the butter then bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown, slightly cracked on top and a skewer inserted at the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before flipping it over.
