Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 cups Cake Flour Provides structure and soft texture; using all-purpose flour may alter the cake's fluffiness.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and moisture; adjust based on taste preferences.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent; ensure it's fresh.
  • 6 large Egg Whites Create signature airy texture when whipped to stiff peaks; aquafaba is a great vegan substitute.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Contributes moisture and richness; can swap for non-dairy alternatives.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; consider using almond extract for a twist.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Enriches flavor; can replace with coconut oil for a non-dairy option.
For the Frosting
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Essential for frosting; homemade version can be made by blending granulated sugar.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until combined.
  3. In a clean bowl, whip egg whites using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks.
  4. In another bowl, combine the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
