Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, mix together 2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt until well combined.

Set the dry ingredients aside.

In a standing mixer, cream together 6 ounces of room-temperature butter and 1 cup of sugar until it resembles wet sand and becomes light and fluffy.

Start mixing on low speed to avoid splattering, then increase the speed as the mixture combines.

If using cold butter, it can be softened by wrapping it in a warm towel or microwaving it for 20 seconds at half power.

Once the butter and sugar mixture is light and fluffy, add in 4 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with 1 cup of buttermilk and a splash of vanilla, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into a prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check for doneness and flip the cake around in the oven if necessary, baking for an additional 10 minutes if needed.

Once baked, soak the cake in a tres leches sauce (not detailed in the transcript).
