Ingredients
Cake Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg room temperature, large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

Whiskey Buttercream Frosting Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Divide the cake batter evenly between the three cake pans.
- Bake 22-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool and then remove the top of each cake with a cake leveler.
- Mix the frosting by creaming the butter and powdered sugar. Add in the vanilla and whiskey, missing with a hand-held mixer on low speed.
- Spread icing across each layer of cake and stack. Frost the top and sides of cake.
