Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease three cake pans with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a bowl.
In a second bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, followed by the egg whites and vanilla extract.
Pour in the buttermilk.
Switch the mixer to low and whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Evenly pour the batter between the cake pans.
Bake for 23 to 26 minutes, then remove the cakes from the oven and set on racks to cool completely.
Cream the butter in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until the buttercream reaches your desired texture.
Once the cakes have completely cooled, take a serrated knife and slice off the top of each cake to create a level surface. Set the first cake on a serving platter. Coat the top of the cake with 1 1/2 cups of frosting.
Place the second cake on the frosting layer.
Coat with 1 1/2 cups of frosting. Repeat with the last cake.
Take the remaining frosting and coat the outside of the cake.
Place the cake in the fridge for at least one hour before cutting and serving. Garnish it as you like.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
