Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and parchment paper.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry milk powder in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat together the butter, oil, and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes until fluffy and white.
Mix in the egg whites, vanilla bean paste, and sour cream on medium speed for 1 minute to incorporate air into the eggs.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing on low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans and bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to sit in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Room temperature ingredients help in achieving a light and fluffy texture.
Make sure to check for doneness with a toothpick, as baking times may vary slightly based on your oven.
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of vanilla extract to the frosting.
