Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare three 8-inch cake pans with baking spray and parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry milk powder.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, oil, and sugar at high speed for 2 minutes until fluffy and white.
- Add egg whites, vanilla bean paste, and sour cream, mixing at medium speed for 1 minute.
- Combine dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing on low until just blended. Use a spatula to ensure even mixing.
- Divide the batter among the three prepared pans. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- In another bowl, sift powdered sugar and set aside.
- Beat butter in a bowl on high speed for 2 minutes. Add cream cheese and beat for 1 minute.
- Mix in powdered sugar gradually, then add vanilla bean paste and mix until creamy.
- Cut domes off the top of the cooled cakes with a serrated knife.
- Spread frosting on the first cake layer, add the second layer, and repeat. Place the last layer upside down.
- Apply a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake and freeze for 15 minutes. Finish frosting and decorating.
Notes
Ensure the cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
Use high-quality vanilla bean paste for the best flavor.
For a more moist cake, adjust the buttermilk quantity.
