– 1/2 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed or avocado)

– 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 8 ounces cream cheese
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 2/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions
1-Getting Started: First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pans by greasing and flouring them. This ensures your cake releases easily and bakes evenly, which is a simple trick for moist results.
2-Mixing the Batter: Next, in a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Then, add the wet ingredients like oil, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
3-Baking and Cooling: Pour the batter into your prepared pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a wire rack before adding frosting, as this step helps maintain that fluffy texture everyone loves.
