1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup sour cream, room temperature

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 vanilla bean seeds removed

3 cup flour sifted

3 teaspoons baking powder sifted

2 tablespoons butter

directions

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 10" cake pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. 2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside. 3. Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the eggs and sugar together on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until pale and fluffy. 4. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk until combined. Note: All the ingredients should all be at room temperature to maximize flavor and combination. 5. Add the oil mixture to the sugar and eggs. 6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing only until combined. Do not over mix the batter. 7. Pour the batter into the cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
