Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Grease and line three 6-inch or two 8-inch cake pans.
- 2In a medium bowl, add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- 3In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), beat the butter on high until creamy, 2 minutes.
- 4Add the sugar and cream together with the butter on medium-high until light and fluffy, 2 minutes.
- 5Turn the mixer to low and add the egg whites one at a time, mixing until they are just combined and scraping down the bowl and paddle as needed.
- 6Add the vegetable oil and vanilla, increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 1 minute.
- 7Turn the mixer off and add the flour mixture all at once.
- 8Mix low speed until just combined, then slowly pour in the buttermilk.
- 9Continue mixing at low speed for about 30 seconds, until the batter is uniform and combined. The batter will be slightly thin.
- 10Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- 11Bake for 28 to 32 minutes.
