Steps

1Prep. Preheat oven to 350º F. Prepare three 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray, brush with homemade cake goop (pan release), or coated well with shortening or butter and floured, taking care to remove all excess flour.
2Cream together butter mixture. Cream together butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy with an electric mixer. Mix together for 4 minutes until light, fluffy and white. Add eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding another.
3Whisk together the flour mixture. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
4Combine the milk mixture. Stir together the milk, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a liquid measuring cup or bowl.
5Make the cake batter. Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Make sure to mix just until combined to prevent overmixing. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl, making sure to have all ingredietns mixed well into the cake batter.
6Bake and cool the cake. Evenly distribute cake batter between cake pans and place pans into oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and allow to cool slightly in cake pans for about 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
7Frost and serve. Frost the cake as desired.
