Decadent Vanilla Buttermilk Cake Delight

Ingredients

- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it achieves the optimal baking temperature.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan:
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray. This step is essential to prevent the cake from sticking and promote easy removal.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, sour cream, vegetable oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

4. Incorporate Cake Mix:
- Gradually add the vanilla cake mix to the wet ingredients. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is creamy and free of lumps.

5. Pour and Smooth:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly.

6. Bake the Cake:
- Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Baking times can vary, so begin checking at the 30-minute mark.

7. Cool the Cake:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the cake from the oven. Allow it to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Cut the cake into slices and serve as a delightful dessert. Consider topping with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.
