My Favorite White Cake Recipe

So deliciously moist, soft and full of creamy flavor! My favorite white cake to make for everyone’s birthdays!! Super easy to make it your own by also changing the filling to any jam, peanut butter, nutella, cream or anything else to add a different flavor for your party! Another way to add flavor is change the vanilla extract to lemon, orange, or almond. Just a few ways to mix it up BUT its so good just the way it is! Sure to be a crowd pleaser at your next celebration!

Ingredients:

3 large eggs

3 large egg whites

1 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp. melted butter

3 tsp. vanilla

1 - 1/2 cup sugar

2-1/4 cups cake flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1 cup grated butter

Frosting:

1 cup butter

8 oz cream cheese

4 cups powdered sugar

1 tbsp. heavy cream

1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions:

1. Prep by oiling 2 circle pans (8 or 9 inch) and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Blend together eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla completely.

3. Add dry ingredients in a different bowl until combined.

4. Grate 1 cup of butter on top of dry ingredients. Combined by hand until butter is no larger then pea sizes.

5. Next up add in wet ingredients and blend together with hand mixer.

6. Once combined put into 2 pans that are oiled and put into oven. 22-27 min, if you want a 4 layer cake do 4 pans t 10-12 min only.

7. Blend together all frosting ingredients until well combined. (butter and cream cheese should be room temp if not heat in microwave for 30 sec at a time) You can add more heavy cream or powdered sugar depending on desired consistency. I sometimes also double the recipe to a thick layer on the outside.

8. Once cake is done baking let cool in pan for 15 min and transfer to cooling rack for another 15.

9. Ice layers of cake and do a thin later around for a “crumb layer” that will catch all the crumbs and make a base for the final layer. Place in fridge for 30 min and then do another final layer. Smooth, textured, whatever you desire!

10. Enjoy!
