I couldn't believe it. The most soft, velvety WHITE CAKE I've ever made! White vanilla cake recipe

This white cake has the most soft, tender crumb and is so easy to put together! Bursting with vanilla flavour and a slight touch of almond flavour to provide a more complex flavour, this will be your new go to white cake! Perfect for birthday and wedding cakes.

INGREDIENTS:

White Cake
▢2⅓ cups (300 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 on blog post if you want to use cake flour)
▢¼ cup (25 g) cornflour - also known as cornstarch
▢2½ tsp baking powder
▢½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
▢1 cup (240 g) milk - room temperature
▢1 tsp white vinegar
▢6 large (225 g) egg whites - room temperature, size 7 eggs
▢½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢½ cup (105 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
▢1¾ cups (350 g) white granulated sugar
▢2½ tsp vanilla essence/extract - use a clear version for a whiter cake
▢1 tsp almond essence/extract - use a clear version for a whiter cake

Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you don't have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
▢1½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢3 cups (375 g) icing sugar - also known as powdered sugar/confectioners sugar

Sincerely, thank you for sharing an honest and so generous recipe. It is the first time that I bake something that I like. I still can’t believe how good it tastes. Also, the way you explained and how you used your hands to separate yolks from egg whites, I just loved how easy you make it for us.

You could add a tiny drop of purple food coloring to the batter to counteract the yellow color and make it even whiter looking.

You are so cute! I like that you stir in the flour mixture, to prevent activating the gluten. And your explanations are spot on.
