Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and stir. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing from the pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk and beat until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and enjoy!
