- Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
- Add remaining ingredients: sour cream, buttermilk, flours, baking powder, lemon and vanilla extracts, butter flavor, mixing slowly and carefully to avoid overmixing.
- Mix until just combined, scraping sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour batter into a greased and parchment-lined 8.4-quart capacity baking pan.
