Instructions
Vanilla Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a parchment paper sling and secure the sides with metal (oven-safe) binder clips, then spray again.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on low speed until well mixed, about 1 minute. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter and beat until the mixture resembles coarse sand, about 4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and beat just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely.
Peanut Butter Frosting
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time on low speed, then beat in the vanilla. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed about beat for 3 minutes, or until smooth and fluffy.
