White Cake

By kdet

You’ll get a slightly whiter cake if you use shortening instead of butter. I prefer butter.

Ingredients

• 4 egg whites
• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/3 cups buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans or grease one 13 by 9 baking pan.

In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter with sugar and vanilla.
Add egg whites. Add flour mixture with buttermilk.
Spread batter into prepared pans.
Bake in 350° for 28 minutes
