Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, beating on low speed to combine. Increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and slightly fluffy.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
Decorate as desired or serve the cake plain for a simple yet delightful dessert.
