Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk warmed to room temperature
- 3 eggs warmed to room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups cake flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray and then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on high speed to cream the butter, vegetable oil, and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until combined.
- Add the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all of the ingredients are incorporated.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes sit in the pans on a wire rack to cool completely before turning them out onto the rack.
- To assemble, frost in between the layers as you stack the cakes and then frost and decorate the top and sides.
Notes
- While not entirely necessary, for a more even texture you can sift the flour, baking powder, and salt after measuring and before adding the dry ingredients to the batter.
- This recipe can be made as three thin 9-inch layers, or two thick 9-inch layers.
