Description

This very moist yellow cake recipe comes from my boyfriend's grandmother. We usually serve it with chocolate buttermilk icing.

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch pans.
2 Cream butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time. Combine milk and vanilla; add to the creamed mixture alternately with flour, ending with flour. Mix just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
3 Bake cake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
