Method
 

Yellow Butter Cake
  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour the bottom and sides of the sheet pan.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl and whisk until blended. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and oil on medium speed until smooth- about 1 minute. Add the sugar and continue beating on medium / high speed until fluffy and lighter in color- 2 to 3 more minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and 3 of the yolks, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add the vanilla along with the remaining yolk. Add one-third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just blended- about 30 seconds. Add another third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just blended- another 30 seconds. Add the remaining buttermilk and mix until just blended, 30 seconds again. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just blended, 30 seconds longer.
  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and using an offset spatula, spread evenly. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean- 20 to 22 minutes.
  5. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. While the cake is cooling, make the frosting...

  3. Fold in the strawberries, then frost the cake, slice, and serve!
