How to Make Irresistible Creamy Butter Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cake pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Carefully add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients at low speed, mixing until just combined.
Transfer the smooth batter into your prepared cake pan, leveling the top for even baking.
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.

This cake can be customized with various flavors and toppings to suit your taste.
