Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 2

Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.

Step 4

Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture, while mixing and alternating with buttermilk until just combined.

Step 5

Pour batter into 2 greased/ floured loaf pans (Dimensions: 8 x4). Spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. Don’t forget to rotate your pan halfway through baking. This ensures the cakes bake and brown evenly.

Step 7

Allow the cakes to cool down for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a cooling rack.

Step 8

Cover in saran wrap and chill in fridge overnight. This way, you will be able to slice perfect smooth slices the next day without any crumbs. Enjoy!
