My neighbor makes this every couple months, and we share a slice warm with coffee the day she bakes it, and cold for dessert with milk the next day! I believe the recipe originated from the Land O Lakes Butter label.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
Stir in the flour gradually: This will help prevent the batter from becoming too tough.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
