Old Fashion White Cake with Brown Sugar Icing

This is a recipe that I remember my grandmother making over and over again... The icing is absolutely fabulous and truly what makes the cake!! I didn't have a cake recipe so I adapted one from something I had which turned out moist and delicious... This recipe is easy to make and a true crowd pleaser

Ingridients for the cake 

1 cup of unsalted butter 
2-1/2 cup of white sugar
2 beaten egg 
2 tsp of vanilla extract 
4 cups of flour 
2 tsp of baking soda 
2 cups of buttermilk 

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 cake pan. Mix butter and white sugar until well blended and fluffy. Add beaten egg and mix until incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking soda. Add flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two until incorporated. Add mixture to cake pan and bake approximately for 40minutes. Insert toothpick in center of cake to ensure the cake is cooked.

Ingredients for Brown Sugar Icing

1/4 tsp of salt 
1/2 cup of milk 
1-1/2 cup of icing sugar
