Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (123g) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 large (120g or 4 ounces) egg whites, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8×8 square pan by greasing with butter and flour or using baking spray.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: Beat softened butter with a hand-held mixer until creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix milk and extracts: Stir together milk and vanilla. If using almond extract, add it to the milk mixture.
  4. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Sift together flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Beat at low speed until just blended after each addition.
  5. Prepare egg whites: Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and frost: Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Optionally, cover with white frosting before serving.

Notes

  • I used Whipped Buttercream Frosting on this cake, halving the recipe.
