Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup vegetable shortening at room temperature
3 tablespoons good quality vanilla extract, if you want pure white use clear vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

Sift together both flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Set aside.
Grease and flour 2 nine inch round cake pans and line the bottom with 2 circles of parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer beat together the vegetable oil, shortening and vanilla. Beat well at high speed with whisk attachment until light and fluffy
Beat the eggs in one at a time.
Fold in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk.
I always add dry ingredients in three divisions and liquid ingredients in 2 divisions. It is very important to begin and end the additions with the dry ingredients. Do not over mix the batter. As soon as it has no lumps in the batter, pour into the two prepared 9 inch cake pans.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
I've frosted this cake with Marshmallow Frosting but any good vanilla frosting is great on this cake. Find the frosting recipe with our Black and White Cake.

Tips:

Use cake flour: Cake flour is a finely milled flour that produces a tender and moist cake. If you don't have cake flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

White Velvet Cake is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a moist and flavorful cake with a delicate crumb. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, and it adds a touch of sweetness and richness. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, White Velvet Cake is the perfect recipe for you.
