FAQs

1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour?

Yes, but cake flour gives a lighter texture. If using all-purpose flour, replace 1 cup with 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.

2. Why do I need to whip the egg whites separately?

Whipping egg whites creates an airy texture, making the cake light and fluffy.

3. Can I make this cake dairy-free?

Yes, substitute butter with dairy-free butter and use almond or oat milk instead of whole milk.

4. What’s the best pan size for this recipe?

A standard 8-inch round or square cake pan works best.

5. Can I add frosting?

Absolutely! A light buttercream, whipped cream, or glaze pairs well with this cake.

6. How do I prevent my cake from being dense?

Make sure to fold the egg whites gently and avoid overmixing the batter.

7. Can I use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer?

Yes, a hand mixer works perfectly for whipping egg whites and creaming butter and sugar.

8. How do I know when the cake is done baking?

Insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

9. Can I bake this as cupcakes?

Yes! Adjust the baking time to 15-18 minutes for cupcakes.

10. What toppings pair well with this cake?

Powdered sugar, fresh fruit, honey, or a simple glaze all work beautifully.
