Classic White Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
1
Gather the necessary dry ingredients and measure them accurately - specifically, take out the required quantities of cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift these dry ingredients together three times to ensure they are well combined.
2
Next, prepare the egg whites in a mixing bowl by whipping them into a state of frothiness. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar to the egg whites while continuously whipping, and stop once the meringue has reached a state where it can hold its shape in soft peaks.
3
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it becomes smooth. Then, gradually add the remaining 1 cup of sugar and continue mixing until the butter mixture has reached a light and fluffy consistency.
4
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to this butter mixture, alternating with a small amount of milk at a time. Whip the mixture after each addition until it is smooth and well combined.
5
Introduce any desired flavorings into the batter, then fold in the prepared meringue until it is fully incorporated.
6
Pour the cake batter into a 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan that has been lined with parchment paper on the bottom.
7
Bake this cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
8
After 10 minutes, remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack for further cooling.
