  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. One at a time, add the eggs to the mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
