Number Of Ingredients 9

FOR TWO 9 X 2 CAKE LAYERS
4-2/3 C unsifted cake flour
2 T baking powder
2/3 t salt
8 large egg whites
2 C whole milk
10-2/3 oz butter(slightly more than 2-1/2 sticks), at room temperature
2-2/3 C sugar
1 T plus 1 t vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare two 9 x 2-inch cake pans with cooking spray and parchment paper on bottom. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Whisk together the egg whites and milk in a small bowl and set aside. Place the butter in the bowl of your mixer, and with the flat paddle attachment, cream butter on medium-high speed. Add the sugar gradually and beat until well blended. Scrape down the bowl once or twice and beat in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and the egg white mixture atlernately, ending with the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides several times. Continue to beat on medium speed just until smooth. Scrape the batter into the pans and bake about 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean. The edges will be slightly brown and will begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool, place on cardboards, and wrap with plastic wrap and foil. Serves 16-20? This cake may be frozen for up to one month, but writer prefers to bake it 2 days before the event
