Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard bundt pan or loaf pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined after each addition; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Smaller loaf pans may require less time, so start checking at 45 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
