Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the butter one cube at a time until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat the egg whites in another bowl until soft peaks form.
Add half of the egg-milk mixture to the flour mixture and beat until light and fluffy. Then mix in the remaining egg-milk mixture until just combined.
Spray a 9 x 13 inch cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool before removing it from the pan. To invert onto a platter, run a knife along the edges to loosen it.

Notes

Make sure to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form for extra lift in the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting for best results.
Feel free to substitute with your favorite mixed berries to decorate.
