Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×9 inch cake pan (or two smaller round pans if you prefer a layered cake).
In a large bowl, or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix sugar, oil, and butter on medium speed for 1 minute until creamy.
Add eggs and yolks one at a time while mixing on low speed. Then stir in vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything mixes evenly.
Add sour cream and beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and turmeric (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute everything.
Add half the flour mixture to the wet mixture while slowly pouring in half the buttermilk. Mix gently just until it starts combining. Add the remaining flour and buttermilk the same way. Mix until everything is combined, but don’t over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 36–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before adding your favourite frosting. This cake works well with chocolate, buttercream, or even fruit-based frostings.
