Title: Wedding Cake Sponge

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 4 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.

2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Set this aside as well.

4. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture in three additions. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, you are ready to assemble and decorate the wedding cake as desired.
