Description

Classic White Cake has been a favorite dessert for years and it's easy to see why! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this classic recipe in no time. Not only is it delicious, but it looks great too - perfect for parties or other special occasions. 


Ingredients

Scale

Non-stick cooking spray
½ c. unsalted butter, room temperature

½ c. vegetable shortening

2 c. granulated sugar

8 large egg whites, room temperature

1 T. real vanilla extract

3 c. all-purpose flour

1 T. baking powder

¼ t. salt

1 c. whole milk


Instructions

  1. Place top oven rack in center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by spraying with non-stick cooking spray and lining the bottom with a parchment paper round. Set aside.

  2. Cream butter, shortening and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add in the egg whites and vanilla, and mix until smooth. 

  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix to combine. Add in the milk and continue mixing until smooth.

  4. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared baking pans and place in the pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

  5. To frost the cake, first level the top of each cake layer by carefully slicing the rounded portion of the cake off. (A cake leveler works great for this). Put the leveled side down on a cake plate. Add a thin layer of the Buttercream Frosting to the exposed top side. 

 

  1. Add the second cake layer, again with the leveled top side down. Add the remaining frosting to the top of the cake, slowly working it around from the middle of the cake top to the edges. Scrape some of the frosting over the edges and apply a thin layer of frosting to the sides of the cake.

  2. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
