Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

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