The best white cake recipe from scratch | Sugar Geek Show

Seriously the best white cake recipe ever made from scratch and from simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. This cake is so simple, I made it with my four year old daughter, Avalon (no my hands are not super tiny, those are my kids).

This classic white cake recipe has a little oil to keep it super moist and has a delicious delicate crumb that melts in your mouth. You'll never need another white cake recipe!

CAKE INGREDIENTS ►
8 oz unsalted butter (room temp)
14 oz sugar
6 large egg whites (fresh not boxed at room temp)
14 oz AP flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp almond extract (use clear for a whiter cake)
1 tsp vanilla extract
10 oz milk (room temp)
2 oz vegetable oil

Hi Sugar Geek, question. Why do you do the following for some cakes and not all cakes:

Coat your flour in your cake vs traditionally creaming the butter and sugar e.g. why would you use one method for one cake over another.

Thank You

Hi - question - can this recipe be made into cupcakes? When I make it, it's a little denser and I'm not sure if this will be cupcake

[sugardimples]

Looks wonderful, does it need adjusting at high altitudes?

[hennie]

can i make it like mocha flavor?..
coz most of the recipes for mocha are chiffon cakes and I don't like the texture..

[samanthacms]

I’d like to make a baby shower cake using this recipe. If I were to use a little bit of baby blue gel colouring would the colour be true or turn pale green?
