## 👩🍳 How to Make Grandma’s Favorite Cake:
### Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
### Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
### Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy — about 3-4 minutes.
### Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

### Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix!
### Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
### Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
