Best White Cake Ever Recipes

WHITE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Butter two 9-inch cake pans (8-inch would work too) that are at least 2-inch high, and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another medium bowl combine sour cream and milk. Set bowls aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add egg whites and vanilla extract and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture and beat until combined. Add milk mixture and beat until combined. Add the other half of the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Do not over mix - the less you mix, the lighter the cake will be.
• Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool for 15 minutes, then gently remove from pan and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and salt on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes. Beat in more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin.
• Assembly: If the cakes rose too much, cut their rounded top with a knife to make them flat. Set one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Evenly spread a thick layer of the frosting over the cake to the edge. Top with the second cake layer. Spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Cake should be kept in the fridge, but bring it to room temperature before serving.

BEST WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter two 10-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Chop chocolate.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl.
• Combine chopped chocolate with 1/2 cup cream in a heavy, medium saucepan over low heat; stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Mix in remaining 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons milk, and vanilla. Remove from the heat.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with white chocolate mixture.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Continue beating until stiff, but not dry.
• Fold egg whites into the cake batter in two additions. Divide batter among the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in the cake pans for 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto a wire rack, peel off parchment paper, and let cool completely, about 15 more minutes.
