Easy White Cake Recipe
Today I'm showing you how to make The Most Amazing White Cake You guys have loved my most amazing chocolate cake and have been begging me for the most amazing white cake. I'm happy to report after many many many many rounds of testing I finally have it the most amazing white cake It's moist, has the perfect crumb, and it truly is the most amazing white cake Start by preheating your oven to 350degrees and then butter three 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper. I have 1 cup of softened salted butter here in my bowl and I'm going to add in 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar and then cream this together with a hand mixer. Creaming the butter and sugar together is an important first step in making the most amazing white cake. You want to make sure that butter and sugar end up nice and creamy.
✅ Easy White Cake Recipe Ingredients
• 1 cup salted butter, softened
• 1½ cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons almond extract
• 3½ cups cake flour
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 large egg whites, room temperature
• 1½ cups milk, room temperature
Then I'm going to pour in 2teaspoons of almond extract and mix that in as well. We use almond extract because it's clear. Vanilla extract is a nice dark brown so if you added that in you wouldn't have that nice beautiful white cake You end up with more of yellowcake. Now we're going to set this aside and put together our liquid and dry ingredients. I have 1 1/2 cups of whole milk here in my liquid measuring cup and I'm going to add in 6 egg whites and whisk this together with a fork. Now once again this is because of a color issue. If we were to add in egg yolks it would taint the batter yellow and we want this to stay a nice white color. Next, I have 3 1/2 cups of cake flour here in my bowl. Cake flour is a little bit different it has some cornstarch added in.
I will give us a slightly better crumb on our cake and to that, we're going to add in4 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and give that a quick stir just to combine it. Now we're going to start adding in our wet and dry ingredients to our butter mixture alternating them and we'll start with the flour. I pour in about 1/3 of the flour mixture to start Then we just mix this in until it's just combined. I should be pretty thick and then we're gonna add in half of our milk mixture. You don't have to be exact on this but close enough and we'll mix this in as well. We're going to repeat this process until we've used up all of our ingredients. Be sure to scrape the bottom insides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all of the ingredients get incorporated. So I'll add in another third of the flour mixture mix that and add in the remainder of the milk and eggs and then end with the remainder of the flower.
Avoid overmixing your batter by only mixing it until the ingredients are just incorporated. Next, we're gonna divide this among our three prepared pans. Divide the batter as evenly as you can among the three pans and then get in there and spread the batter so that it covers the bottom of the pan.
Then we're going to bake these in the 350-degree oven for 25 minutes until they're just golden on top and cooked through. Once the cakes are done baking let them cool in the pan for five minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. You'll want to make sure that you cool your cakes completely before trying to assemble and frost them. Now white cakes are great for fillings raspberry jam and lemon curd are classics but you can feel free to customize this to your own personal preferences.
