Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups bleached cake flour
- 1 ¾ cups sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- homemade chocolate frosting
Direction
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack to the center of the oven. Spray a 9×13 baking dish liberally and then flour, tapping out excess. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, buttermilk and vanilla, approximately 1 minute. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing on low for 30 seconds.
- Add the butter and oil, slowly increasing speed and mixing for about 1 minute. Slowly add the liquid mixture while still blending until no dry spots appear. Stop and scrape down the sides and then beat for an additional 3 minutes on medium speed.
- Pour into the prepared cake pan, tapping several times to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the cake passes the toothpick test. Cool fully on a wire rack.
