In a large bowl, using an hand held electric mixer on medium speed beat together butter with ¾ cup sugar, add oil and continue to mix until fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla.
Stir in dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Pour cake batter over apple mixture in prepared cake pan. Bake for 43 minutes at 325 or until toothpick comes out clean, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes,
Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Take a knife and run it along the edges of the cake to loosen it, place a serving plate over the cake pan and flip it over, giving a good tap to the bottom of the cake pan to loosen the cake. Remove parchment paper. Let cool a little longer. Serve with ice cream of whipped cream.
Notes
Cake will appear to be a little sunken in the middle but don't worry once you flip it no one will notice! You can also use all butter in place of the butter/oil combo.
