Ingredients

9 ounces each all-purpose and cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
21 ounces sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 cups milk, room temperature

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 2 (8 or 9)-inch round pans. Sift together the flours and baking powder.

Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixer bowl until fluffy. Add the salt and vanilla and mix well. Add the eggs, scraping the sides of the bowl, and mix until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches alternating with the milk, mixing after each addition and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for 15 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the racks and remove the pans. Let the cakes cool completely. Wrap and refrigerate before decorating.

Dry, heavy and lacking flavor
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly, and it was very dry. We choked down a piece and tossed the rest.

Greeaaaatt!

I tried a similar recipe to this one and thought of it to be a tad too sweet, and have too of a cake flour taste. Here is... what I did. I added 19 oz. of sugar and 7 oz. cake flour/11 oz. AP flour instead of what is stated. The cake came out FANTASTIC!! I moistened it with a tiny bit of Brandy and filled it with a passion fruit curd. Your great Colette!Read more

Theeee Best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been looking for a "from scratch" moist white cake recipe for years and finally found it! I split the 9" layers and... filled with mousseline and fresh strawberries; the three layers were then 'glazed' with a light layer of the mousseline . My husband said it was the best birthday cake ever: light and scrumptious!Read more
