Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of the whipped cream frosting onto one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream frosting.
- Decorate the cake as desired with additional whipped cream, fresh fruits, or edible flowers.
- Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve for best results.
