- Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack to the middle position. Butter and flour the cake pans. In the bowl of a standing mixer (or a hand-held mixer), cream the sugar, brown sugar and butter together at medium speed until quite fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add a third of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and mix just to combine, at medium-low speed. Add half of the buttermilk mixture and mix just to combine.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead four times to bring it all together, then roll into an even cylinder about 18 inches long. Cut the cylinder into six equal parts (each 3 inches long), then press each part into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to a day.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a 10-inch circle (use a light sprinkling of flour if it begins to stick). Using a cake pan as your guide, trim the dough into a perfect 9-inch circle, then lay it in a pan to bake.
- Remove from the oven and cool the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove the layers and set aside. When the pans are cool, butter and flour them once more and repeat the rolling, cutting and baking with the other dough rounds.
