- In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and shortening until combined.
- Add the sugar and mix on high for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- One at a time, add the eggs and mix until incorporated. Scrape the bowl to ensure everything has been combined.

- In three parts, add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
