Vanilla Cake

This vanilla cake has to be the best white cake I have tried yet. It's light and fluffy. 
Vanilla cake~

21/2 cups flour
21/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

4 eggs 
11/2 cups sugar 
1 cup oil 
1 cup butter milk (or 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice mixed with milk and set aside for 5 minutes before using.)

Directions~
Preheat oven to 350* F
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. stir together with whisk, and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add eggs and beat for 10-20 seconds. Add sugar and continue to beat on medium speed about 30 seconds. Add vanilla and oil, beat. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add about a half of the flour mixture. Add half of the milk, then the rest of the flour and the rest of the milk. beat until just combined. scrap down the side of the bowl. ( the batter will be thin) Pour batter into two 8" buttered and floured cake pans bake in the preheated oven for 20-40 minutes until a tooth pick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. let cool on a wire rack for a little bit then take out of pan and frost.
