How to Make Butter Cake 1957

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 30 minutes and adjust baking time as needed.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
