WHITE CAKE RECIPE



White Cake Recipe image

I highly recommend sticking to the recipe. Using butter and sour cream is what makes this recipe so good. It's best if all the ingredients (eggs, milk, sour cream) are at room temperature, but make sure to separate the eggs while they are still cold because it's easier. If you don't have a stand mixer, use a hand mixer. I recommend lining the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper to ensure that the cakes come out of the pan in one piece. I cut parchment paper rounds the size of the pan.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 and 1/4 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (180 ml) sour cream
3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk
1 cup (2 sticks/225 g) unsalted butter (, softened to room temperature)
1 and 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
5 large egg whites
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups (340 g/3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups (700 g) powdered sugar, sifted, plus more as needed
5 tablespoons (75 ml) heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Butter two 9-inch cake pans (8-inch would work too) that are at least 2-inch high, and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another medium bowl combine sour cream and milk. Set bowls aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add egg whites and vanilla extract and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture and beat until combined. Add milk mixture and beat until combined. Add the other half of the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Do not over mix - the less you mix, the lighter the cake will be.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool for 15 minutes, then gently remove from pan and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and salt on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes. Beat in more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin.
  • Assembly: If the cakes rose too much, cut their rounded top with a knife to make them flat. Set one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Evenly spread a thick layer of the frosting over the cake to the edge. Top with the second cake layer. Spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Cake should be kept in the fridge, but bring it to room temperature before serving.

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 oz unsalted butter (room temp)
14 oz sugar
6 large egg whites (fresh not boxed at room temp)
14 oz AP flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp almond extract (use clear for a whiter cake)
1 tsp vanilla extract
10 oz milk (room temp)
2 oz vegetable oil
8 oz pasteurized egg whites (room temperature)
32 oz powdered sugar
32 oz unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
6 oz white chocolate
1 oz warm water
1 tsp warm brown food coloring
2 tsp Truly Mad Plastics super gold
1 Tbsp Everclear (lemon extract or rose water can be used )

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 335ºF and prepare two 8"x2" cake pans with cake goop or another preferred pan release.
  • Combine milk, oil and extracts and set aside
  • Combine your flour, baking powder and salt and set aside
  • Place butter in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and cream until smooth. Sprinkle in your sugar and then let whip on high until light and white (about 5 minutes)
  • Add the egg whites one at a time (roughly) to the butter mixture while mixing on low and let fully combine after each addition before adding the next. If your egg whites aren't at room temperature you can microwave them for a few seconds. Be careful not to cook them! Cold egg whites will curdle the batter.
  • Add in 1/3 of your dry ingredients to the egg/butter mixture and mix on low until just combined. Then add in 1/2 of your liquids, then dry, then liquids and the rest of your dry. Let mix until just combined.
  • Add batter into prepared cake pans and bake at 335º F for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center.
  • Let cool ten minutes then turn out cakes onto a cooling rack. Wrap warm and place into the freezer to flash chill. This locks in the moisture. Once cool but not frozen you can then trim off the brown edges of your cakes and frost as desired. Chill cake.
  • Combine egg whites and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment. Whisk to combine on low then whisk on high, adding in your butter in small chunks, vanilla and salt. Turn mixer up to high and whip until light, fluffy and white.
  • Melt chocolate and water in the microwave and whisk until smooth. Add in a couple drops of food coloring. Let cool to about 90 degrees before attempting to drip over the chilled cake. Once chocolate is set, you can combine the everclear and gold dust to make a paint and paint the drip. *note: this is a non-toxic gold dust

EASY WHITE ICING



Easy White Icing image

This easy white icing recipe yields a foolproof frosting for cakes and cupcakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups, enough for 12 standard cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 pound (3 2/3 cups) confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk (optional)

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth.
  • Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. If too thick to spread, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure out all of your ingredients and gather all of your tools. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're baking.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use room temperature ingredients. This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother, more consistent batter.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix your batter just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Proper Baking Pan: Use a baking pan that is the right size for your recipe. If your pan is too small, the cake will overflow. If your pan is too large, the cake will be thin and dry.
  • Oven Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking. An oven that is too hot or too cold will result in an unevenly baked cake.
  • Toothpick Test: To check if your cake is done baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few minutes longer.

Conclusion:

This white cake recipe is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, you'll love this recipe.
