Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) with the fan on. Grease or line two 8-inch round cake tins.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the full-fat milk, until just incorporated.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins and bake for 28–30 minutes.
- For the frosting, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened, about an hour.
- Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then let cool slightly before spreading.
- Once cooled, level the cake layers, frost between layers, and cover the cake obscuring all parts.
