Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk (full fat is best, but low fat will work as well)
  • 3 large whole eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) (room temperature – do not microwave)

Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the room temperature unsalted butter until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
