Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 Large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Alternatively, line the pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
Add the softened butter to the dry mixture. Use an electric mixer on low speed to combine until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, beating on medium speed until the batter is smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cake texture.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before assembling or frosting.
Optional: Frost the cake with your favorite frosting (such as buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or whipped cream) and decorate as desired before serving.
