Instructions
Preheat the Oven Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment for easy removal.
Prepare the Dry Mix In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add Egg Whites and Vanilla Beat in the egg whites one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Alternately mix the dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Bake the Cake Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool fully before frosting.
Prepare the Frosting In a large bowl, whip the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar. Add vanilla and cream (or milk) a tablespoon at a time until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
Frost and Enjoy Spread the frosting over the completely cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve.
Baking Tips
Use Room Temperature Ingredients Ensure your butter, egg whites, and milk are all at room temperature to create a smooth, well-emulsified batter.
Extra Airiness For a fluffier cake, try whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks separately and gently folding them in at the end.
Flavor Variations Add a layer of your favorite fruit jam or some fresh berries between the cake and frosting to add a fruity twist.
