Directions

  1. In a large bowl sift together flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a pitcher, whisk together milk, half-and-half, and vanilla. Set aside.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs one at time, mixing well and scraping the bowl after you add each egg.
  3. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Add 1/2 of the milk. You add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, and the liquid in 2. When everything has been added scrape the bowl one more time. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, remove the paper wrappers, and let cool completely.
  6. Prepare Vanilla Buttercream: Add butter to bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until the butter is pale, very smooth, and makes a slapping sound as it hits the sides of the bowl, about 30 seconds.
