Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13 pan with parchment.
- Beat the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
