Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 (8-inch) round cake pans.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the oil and sugar on medium-high speed. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl once during mixing; cream well. Add the vanilla and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter in 3 parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter among cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 to 11 minutes. Let cakes cool completely before icing.
