Zubereitung von Fluffy Yellow Layer Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Adjust oven rack to the middle position.
- Grease two 9-inch round cake pans (2-inch high). Line the bottoms with parchment paper, grease the parchment, and dust the pans with flour. Tap out excess flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter.
- Add 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 4 large egg yolks to the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
- In a clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat 4 large egg whites at medium-high speed until foamy (about 30 seconds).
- Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites while beating. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form (30-60 seconds).
- Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Lightly tap the pans on the counter 2-3 times to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cakes are pulling away from the sides of the pans.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Run a small knife around the edges of the cakes to loosen them. Invert the cakes onto a greased wire rack, then peel off the parchment paper.
- Invert the cakes again and let them cool completely on the rack (about 1 1/2 hours) before frosting.
