Ingredients
- Butter – Softened for a rich, creamy texture
- Granulated sugar – Adds the perfect level of sweetness
- Whole milk – Ensures moisture and tenderness
- Vanilla extract – For a warm, classic flavor
- Almond extract (optional) – Adds a subtle nutty aroma
- Cake flour – The key to a light, airy texture
- Baking powder – Helps the cake rise beautifully
- Egg whites – Creates a fluffy, delicate crumb
Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch cake pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and almond extract (if using), mixing until combined.
- Sift the cake flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
- Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until smooth.
2. Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
3. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan(s).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Serve & Enjoy:
- Dust with powdered sugar for a simple finish.
- Pair with whipped cream and fresh berries for a light and refreshing touch.
- Frost with a fluffy vanilla buttercream for added decadence.
Notes
- For an extra fluffy cake, be sure not to overmix the batter.
- Using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour ensures a softer texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, increase the sugar slightly.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
