Tips:

For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and oil in the cake batter.
Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a smooth, even texture.
Be sure to measure the flour correctly; too much flour can make the cake dry and crumbly.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it stand for 5 minutes.
For a moist, tender cake, don't overmix the batter.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure that it rises evenly.
To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
