The cake is moist and light while the buttercream is rich and tasty. I admit, I do not bake that often and when I do, I usually opt for cupcakes because they’re easy and no-fuss. I have always been intimidated by cakes and particularly layer cakes. But after make this vanilla cake with Kahlua raspberry buttercream, I am hooked. So hooked in fact, I had to give half this cake to my neighbor so I didn’t sit and eat it all in one sitting. The basis of this recipe is a simple vanilla cake.
