Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, beating on low speed to combine. Increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and slightly fluffy.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
Step 9
Decorate as desired or serve the cake plain for a simple yet delightful dessert.
