    Ingredients

    • 385 g (3 cup) flour - sifted
    • 2 ½ tsp of backing powder
    • ½ tsp of salt
    • 113 g butter - softened at room temperature
    • 63 ml vegetable oil
    • 225 g sugar
    • 4 egg whites - at room temperature
    • 118 ml buttermilk
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan oven).
    2. Prepare the 15 cm diameter moulds by lining them with greaseproof paper (cook this preparation in 3 times to have 3 layers of cakes).
    3. Mix together the sifted flour, baking powder and salt (avoid direct contact between the yeast and salt).
    4. In another bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla.
    5. In the bowl of a food processor, mix the soft butter, oil and sugar with a mixer at medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Then add the egg whites one by one while continuing to mix at medium speed.
    6. Finish by adding the first mixture of flour, salt and yeast and the fermented milk in small quantities.
    7. Keep mixing on medium speed until the cake batter is smooth.
    8. Divide this preparation into the 3 moulds and cook for 40-45 minutes, check the cooking with a tester or a knife, plunge your knife in the center of the cake, it must come out clean.
    9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before unmolding, then place it on a wire rack and let it cool completely.
    10. Wrap your cake layers in cling film and place them in the fresh for a few hours before cutting.
    11. Using a cake lyre or long serrated knife, simply level the 3 cake layers.

    Notes

    • If you do not have buttermilk, you can replace it with milk and add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
    • Prepare your cake 24 hours before assembling your layer cake.
