Instructions

1. Make the Dry Mix: In a large bowl, mix together flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. To use immediately, follow directions below, or place into a sealable bag and store for up to 2 months.
3. To Make a Cake: Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Butter and line two 9-inch (23 cm) or three 6-inch (15 cm) round cake tins and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract.
5. Stir the cake mix into the wet ingredients in 3 additions and stop just as soon as you have a smooth batter. Take care not to overmix.
