Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two heart-shaped cake pans by greasing and lining them with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract and buttermilk.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool before decorating with your choice of frosting.
