1. Set oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees C). Clean, flour, and grease a Bundt pan.
2. Mix the flour, 2 cups sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and baking powder in a sizable bowl. Add 4 eggs, 1 cup butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and buttermilk to the mixture. 3 minutes of medium-speed beating. Fill the pan with the batter.
