INGREDIENTS  
2 Cups (210g) sifted cake flour  
1 1/2 tsp baking powder  
1/2 tsp baking soda  
1/2 tsp salt  
1/2 Cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temp  
3 Tbsp (45ml) vegetable oil  
1 1/3 Cups (267g) granulated sugar  
2 large eggs, room temp  
2 large egg yolks, room temp  
1/3 Cup (80g) sour cream, room temp  
2 tsp pure vanilla extract  
3/4 Cup (180ml) whole milk, room temp  
  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and line three 6-inch or two 8-inch cake pans.  
2. In a medium bowl, add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together and set aside.  
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a handheld mixer and large bowl), beat the butter on high speed until it’s creamy, 2 min. Add the vegetable oil and sugar, then continue to mix on medium-high until pale and fluffy, 2 min. Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, mixing on low speed for 10-15 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla and sour cream and turn the mixer to high speed for 1 min.   
4. Turn the mixer off and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until the ingredients just start to combine, then add the milk in a steady stream and continue mixing until incorporated, about 30 seconds.   
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 28-32 minutes. Let the cakes cool, then fill and frost with chocolate buttercream (full recipe linked in my bio!)

Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is a birthday cake classic. This recipe captures that moist and fluffy texture of box mix yellow cake, but it’s 100% from scratch. I fill and frost this cake with my favorite fudgy chocolate frosting and lots of rainbow sprinkles to make it extra celebratory. It makes me so nostalgic for my childhood birthdays, and I hope it becomes a tradition for your celebrations, [Music]
