Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large egg whites
1 cup whole milk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
3. Cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3–5 minutes.
4. Gradually add egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Alternately mix in the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
6. Stir in vanilla extract, then divide batter evenly into prepared pans.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.
Notes
Optional: Frost with buttercream, whipped cream, or cream cheese frosting.
For even layers, weigh the batter before dividing between pans.
Store unfrosted cake layers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
