Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add Egg Whites and Vanilla: Gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  9. Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  10. Serve: Slice and enjoy your Heavenly White Cake! Optionally, decorate with fresh fruit or sprinkles for an extra touch.

Enjoy your baking!
