Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease and line a 9×13 inch pan.
- Beat room-temperature butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to the mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let the cake cool completely.
- Mix the vanilla extract into the milk for the milk soak and set aside.
- For the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each addition, then add vanilla extract.
- For the crumb, combine all crumb ingredients in a bowl, blend with a fork, and form clusters. Spread on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.
- Cut the cake into two sheets. Brush the top of the bottom sheet with milk soak.
- Spread frosting over the bottom sheet, place the second sheet on top, brush with milk soak, and frost the entire cake.
- Sprinkle the top generously with cake crumbs. Let the cake sit for one hour before serving.
Notes
- Make sure all ingredients, especially butter, egg whites, and buttermilk, are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender cake texture.
- Allow the cake to rest after assembly to fully absorb the milk soak and enhance flavor.
