- In a stand mixer, beat sugar and salted butter until light and fluffy. Add vegetable oil and corn syrup while mixing.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and wet ingredients alternately, mixing gently until just combined.
- Whip egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter gently.
- Spread batter in the prepared pan, bake for 18 minutes, then reduce temperature to 300°F (149°C) and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes.
- Prepare the buttercream by blending cream cheese and salted butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Once cooled, frost the cake with buttercream, starting with a crumb coat, refrigerate to set, then apply a thicker layer.

Notes
Keep room temperature ingredients for better emulsion. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender texture. Store covered at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
