Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg whites and vanilla.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the creamed butter, mixing until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before frosting.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Cake flour helps keep the cake light and fluffy, so avoid using all-purpose flour.
  • Can be frosted with vanilla buttercream or your preferred frosting.
