Reverse cream the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs

Stream in the milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth.

Add the meringue: Gently fold it into the batter by hand with a spatula until no streaks remain.

Divide the cake batter into three ungreased cake pans, then bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F/175°C.

While the cakes cool, gather the ingredients for the buttercream:

white chocolate, butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream

Beat butter and powdered sugar together until fluffy, then add cooled, melted white chocolate to a well in the center.

This will prevent the white chocolate from getting lumpy.

Beat together until light and fluffy, like this

Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on the base of a cake turner.

Frost with white chocolate buttercream, then pipe a dam of buttercream around the edge and fill with pomegranate jelly.

Place another cake layer on top, then repeat.

Frost the cake with the remaining buttercream, then smooth with a bench scraper.

Decorate the sides of the cake with pomegranate arils in the shapes of trees
