Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare three (3) 8-inch round cake pans by spraying with non-stick spray or greasing the pans; then place parchment round in the bottom of the pan and spray or grease that as well. In the bowl of stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder in large bowl. To make cake batter, add flour mixture and ice water to creamed butter, alternating between wet and dry ingredients and beating after each addition After everything is well mixed, add vanilla and almond extracts, mix again to incorporate, and then fold in beaten egg whites until the batter is smooth. Divide evenly between the prepared pans, smooth top of batter, and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cakes completely on cooling racks, then remove from baking pans and discard parchment. Cakes can be prepared ahead of time - kept well-wrapped they can be refrigerated for 2 days or frozen for 1 week. Buttercream Frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer, cream butter until smooth, then turn to low and add powdered sugar in two additions. Beat on low until incorporated, then beat on medium speed until frosting is smooth. (Sifting your powdered sugar ahead of time helps to get smooth frosting.) Add salt, vanilla extract, and milk, and beat until smooth again. If the frosting is thick enough for you, add any coloring you like; use immediately or refrigerate tightly sealed. To make frosting thicker, add an additional 1/2-1 cup powdered sugar. To make frosting thinner, add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Sift cake flour, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl. Combine butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and marzipan in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon almond extract and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating continually. Beat until well mixed. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour equal portions of batter into prepared cake pans. Bake layers until a toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer cake pans to wire racks. Let stand to cool for 10 minutes. Turn the layers onto wire racks to cool completely. Mix frosting and whipped topping in a large bowl. Stir in remaining almond extract. Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure that all ingredients are measured and ready, and all necessary equipment is clean and ready to use.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For optimal results, bring eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before baking. This allows them to blend more easily and evenly.
- Properly Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for incorporating air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
- Gradual Addition of Flour: Gradually add flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Folding in Egg Whites: When incorporating egg whites, use a spatula and gently fold them into the batter until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can deflate the egg whites and result in a less airy cake.
- Proper Baking Temperature and Time: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking and bake the cake for the specified time. Underbaking can result in a gooey cake, while overbaking can make it dry.
- Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps to prevent the frosting from melting and ensures that the cake is properly set.
