Steps

1hr 30minutes

1

Heat up your oven to 350 ° F
2

Grease your pans with butter and dust with flour
3

Mix the flour, baking soda and salt, and set aside
4

Whisk the butter and sugar in medium high speed for 5 minutes till it's thick and fluffy. Scrape the sides as needed.
5

Add the eggs one at a time beating well with each addition, making sure the eggs are well incorporated per addition. Scrape the sides as needed
6

Add in the vanilla and whisk till it's fully combined
7

Reduce to medium speed and add in the flour mixture in thirds alternating with the buttermilk. Mix well till the flour mixture and buttermilk are fully combined before adding more
8

Your batter should look smooth especially if you used room temperature ingredients else whisk for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. I added chocolate chips at this stage and stirred
9

Transfer the batter to your cake pans, spreading evenly. Tap to release air pockets. I sprinkled some more chocolate chips at the top. If using more than one pan, divide evenly. You can simply eye-ball it or use a kitchen scale
10

Bake for 28-30 minutes
11

Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. The final stage of cooking occurs now, with the heat from the pan. A little mishap with my oven made them browner than expected. Don't be like me, ensure you have enough gas before baking 😢
12

Then place on a wire rack till it cools to room temperature. A wire rack ensures all-round flow of air to the cake compared to placing them on a flat surface like a plate
13

There you have it!!! You can ice/frost it or just enjoy the plain goodness of it 🤩

I sliced off the top and layered them with some leftover chocolate frosting from a previous cake-adventure (stay tuned for that recipe 📻), and sprinkled some cashew nuts as well.
