Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
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 medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until well combined, but do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until evenly incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading it out evenly 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 allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost with your favorite frosting or serve slices plain. Enjoy this heavenly white cake with friends and family!
Note: You can customize this cake by adding fillings between the layers or decorating it with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or frosting of your choice.
