Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 24–26 cm round mold; If you want, put baking paper on the base so that the cake comes out easily.
Combine the dry mixture
Mix the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Add baking soda and mix briefly so that no lumps remain.
Add oils and liquids
Place butter, margarine and vegetable shortening in a bowl. Add water and milk and mix on low speed; Continue when the dough becomes smooth.
Finish the dough with vinegar and eggs
Add the vinegar. Break the eggs one by one and beat them; Add vanilla too. Mix the dough just until combined, do not overbeat.
Bake
Pour the dough into the mold and smooth it with a spatula. Bake for 35–45 minutes; When the toothpick comes out clean, take it out of the oven.
Cool
Let the cake rest in the mold for 10 minutes, then put it on a wire rack. Wait for it to cool completely before applying the cream.
Whip the cream
Beat the soft butter and margarine. Add the powdered sugar little by little; Adjust the consistency with milk and vanilla. Aim for a smooth cream that is easy to apply.
Cover and serve the cake
When the cake has cooled, spread the cream on it (or on the sides if you want) with a spatula. Slice and serve; Store leftovers in a closed container.
