Ingredients

Black Sheep Crusting Buttercream:

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with some butter.
  2. Mix 1/4 cup of the milk, the sour cream, almond extract, vanilla extract and egg whites in a bowl and blend thoroughly.
  3. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter gradually, beating for at least 2 minutes on low speed. Add the wet ingredient mixture and beat for 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk and blend until smooth on medium speed.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  5. Cool to room temperature and then decorate with the Black Sheep Crusting Buttercream.
