Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
MAKE THE BATTER:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.

BAKE:
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
