This gluten free vanilla layer cake is a timeless crowd-pleaser that tastes just as good as the original. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or any occasion worth celebrating.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk the gluten free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until the edges pull away slightly and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
