Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 units Egg whites (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using a hand or stand mixer until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the butter, continuing to beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg whites to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Decorate with your favorite frosting and toppings, and serve this Heavenly White Cake for a delicious treat!
