Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk

For the Buttercream Frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare Cake Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
4. Prepare Buttercream Frosting:
   • In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well after each addition.
   • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
5. Frost the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the buttercream frosting evenly over the top. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
• For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the milk with buttermilk.
• If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce the amount of powdered sugar to your taste.

Conclusion: This moist vanilla sheet cake with creamy buttercream frosting is a classic dessert that never goes out of style. Its simplicity and deliciousness make it a perfect choice for any occasion. Enjoy baking and sharing this delightful cake with your loved ones!
