Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. In bowl, with mixer on medium speed blend well butter and all sugar. Add eggs and vanilla using high speed until well blended. In another bowl sift flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, beat about a third of flour mixture into butter mixture, then add third of buttermilk. Repeat to beat in remaining flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating in thirds. When all flour is incorporated, beat mixture on medium speed just until well blended.
