Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray; I like to use the spray for an easy release. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with my electric mixer, and the smell is heavenly! Once that’s done, I add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
