Cake Directions

Prepare the Cake Batter
In another large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Finally, stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

Bake the Cakes
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
