Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using.
- Combine Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- For best results, use cake flour for a tender crumb.
- Pair with your favorite buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or whipped frosting.
