White Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13" pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add all ingredients before eggs. Mix with a large spoon.
Add in eggs one at a time and stir until well incorporated. Then add sour cream.
Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes, until top springs back to the touch or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (For 8/9 inch layer pans bake for 30-35 mins or a bundt pan for 50-55 minutes.)
Let cool in pan. Using a butter knife, cut around edges before releasing.
Buttercream Frosting
Beat butter in a stand mixer with paddle attachment until softened and smooth.
Add in 1 c. of powdered sugar, then a tiny bit of milk, beat on high until smooth. Continue this process until all the powdered sugar is incorporated and frosting is smooth. Add extract and beat until smooth.
Spread frosting on top of cooled cake.
