Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, combine milk and melted butter with vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually mix this into the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter to maintain fluffiness.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep it light.
