  • Add butter, oil, and sugar to a large bowl and mix for about 5 minutes. Then add lemon zest, vanilla, and eggs.
  • Add buttermilk and lemon juice and mix until well combined.
  • Pour batter evenly into pans and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool cakes for 10 minutes in their pans, then remove and let cool on a wire rack.
