  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until creamy, then add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and buttermilk.
  4. Gradually fold in the dry mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
