How to Make A Quick And Easy White Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer until combined.
  5. Gradually add 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for 1 minute until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
