Description
A moist and fluffy white cake that evokes childhood memories and is perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 units egg whites
- ½ cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly and dusting it with flour.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar together until it turns light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix gently until everything is incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added elegance, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
