Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist White Almond Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the almond cake mix box, usually around 350°F (175°C). Grease cake pans or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond cake mix, egg whites, water, and vegetable oil. Mix for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared cake pans. Bake according to package directions, typically for 25–30 minutes.
  4. Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, combine the all-purpose flour and milk, cooking over medium heat until thickened. Cool completely before mixing with butter and powdered sugar until fluffy.
  6. Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate, spread frosting on top, add the second layer, and coat with remaining frosting.
