Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, oil, sugar, and sea salt until fluffy. Add egg whites one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract, vinegar, and pink gel food coloring.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake layers cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and salt, mixing until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and pink gel food coloring for a soft blush tone.
Place one cake layer on a stand, spread frosting evenly, and repeat with the remaining layers. Frost the outside of the cake, smooth it out, and add edible glitter for sparkle.
