• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature, please!)

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan – and don’t be shy with it!
1. In your mixing bowl (pull out the good one, darlin’), cream together the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 5 minutes, perfect time to check your Instagram!
1. Add those eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Trust me, patience is key here – we’re not making scrambled eggs!
1. In a separate bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt.
1. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to your butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Add that vanilla extract too – and maybe a little extra if nobody’s looking! 😉
1. Pour this heavenly batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out nice and pretty.
1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. And no peeking before 25 minutes – we don’t want this cake falling faster than a hot potato!
Now, sweet peas, let this cool for about 20 minutes before cutting into squares. They’re perfect with a glass of sweet tea or coffee, especially when you’re gossiping with your girlfriends!
