Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

- Decorate with fresh flowers or edible decorations to make it special.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the celebration!
Notes
