Ingredients

3 cups cake flour
6 large eggs
1 lb butter
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2

Take your standard tube cake pan and oil it with butter. Then lightly flour the oiled pan. Shake the excess flour from the pan and put to the side.
3

Sift the flour, baking soda,and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
4

Stir in salt and the sugar.
5

Add the butter. Melt the butter in a pan over slow heat to make it blend easier. (You can do this or just let the butter soften at room temperature.).
6

Add the eggs. At this point I break out my mixer and begin mixing on slow.
7

Slowly add buttermilk, and then the vanilla extract. After it is thoroughly stirred, I turn the mixer up to medium for a few minutes, and then finally on high. If the mixture is a little thick I add just a touch more buttermilk.
8

Pour the mix in, and bake the cake for about 1 hour and twenty minutes.
9

Allow the cake to cool 15 or 20 minutes in the pan before removing.
