Enchanting Snickerdoodle Cake

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup + 3 tablespoons oil (canola, vegetable, or any neutral-flavored oil)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar)
• 3 cups water or any milk of choice
• 2 cups cream cheese frosting

Instructions:

1. Begin the magic by preheating your oven to 180C/350F. Embrace your cake pans with a touch of enchantment by greasing three 8-inch pans and set them aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, bring together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix them until they waltz together in a harmonious dance of flavors.
3. Introduce the wet ingredients to the mix. Add the oil, vanilla extract, vinegar, and either water or your milk of choice. Stir until the ingredients unite, forming a smooth and silky batter.
4. Distribute this magical batter evenly among the three cake pans, ensuring each one gets a fair share of the enchantment.
5. Bake the cakes for 25-27 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let the tantalizing aroma of cinnamon fill your kitchen with pure delight! 🌬️🍂
6. Once the cakes have finished their magical baking journey, let them cool completely in the pans, allowing them to find their perfect balance of flavors and textures.
7. It’s time to assemble this masterpiece! Frost between each layer with the luscious cream cheese frosting, spreading a generous amount of magic on top and along the sides.
8. For the perfect finishing touch, refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes. This ensures the frosting adheres to the cake, creating a beautiful and firm presentation.
