White Cake (egg whites)

Hello everybody, it’s Louise, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a distinctive dish, white cake (egg whites). One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

White Cake (egg whites) is one of the most popular of recent trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. White Cake (egg whites) is something which I have loved my whole life. They are fine and they look wonderful.

Fold your egg whites gently into the rest of your white cake batter. I always recommend doing this part by hand. A white cake is made with egg whites (no yolks), which gives the cake a beautiful snow-white color. I prefer vegetable oil to shortening or butter for this recipe, since it makes the cake moister, and we lose a bit of moisture without the egg yolks.

To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook white cake (egg whites) using 9 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make White Cake (egg whites):
  1. Prepare 2 cups (10oz, 285g) cake flour
  2. Take 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  3. Get 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  4. Prepare 3/4 teaspoon salt
  5. Prepare 1 1/2 cups (12 oz, 340g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup set aside
  6. Get 2 1/2 sticks (10 oz, 283g) unsalted butter at room temperature
  7. Take 1 cup (8 oz, 230g) plain yogurt at room temperature
  8. Take 1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
  9. Get 6 fresh egg whites, at room temperature (do not use pasteurized egg whites or they might not whip up properly)

The first step in this recipe calls for frothing the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. You'll then set those aside and fold them in at the very end. The frothed eggs help the cake to be fluffy and light. A white cake recipe only uses the whites of the egg, sometimes whipped and then folded into the batter, sometimes added directly to the butter/sugar mixture.

Steps to make White Cake (egg whites):
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line three 8 inch cake pans with a circle of parchment paper or butter and flour the bottom of pans only. Do not butter and flour the sides of the pan.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with 1 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients in a mixer bowl on low speed for 30 seconds to distribute the leavening.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, add half the yogurt and toss in the butter a tablespoon at a time. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. - With the mixer running on low speed, add the remaining yogurt and vanilla.
  6. Increase the speed to medium and beat about 3-4 minutes until the batter lightens in texture and becomes aerated. - Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure there are no pockets of unmixed batter.
  7. In another bowl, whip the egg whites on medium high until they form soft peaks. - Turn the mixer to medium low and slowly add the other 1/2 cup sugar. - Turn the mixer to medium high and whip the whites to firm peak.
  8. Fold the whites into the base in 3 parts. Fold just until there are no streaks of egg white.
  9. Divide the batter evenly between the 3 pans and spread so it's level.
  10. Bake about 25-30 minutes until the center of the cake springs back when lightly pressed or a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  11. Cool 10 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a cooling rack.
  12. I iced the cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream (https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/4896046-swiss-meringue-buttercream?via=sidebar-recipes)

The frothed eggs help the cake to be fluffy and light. A white cake recipe only uses the whites of the egg, sometimes whipped and then folded into the batter, sometimes added directly to the butter/sugar mixture. Vanilla cake uses both the egg whites and the egg yolks (usually) and results in a slightly off-white colored cake but in my opinion has the most flavor. For a white cake, egg whites are used instead of whole eggs because the egg yolks give the cake a yellowish color. You can use the egg yolks to make creme brulee or Boston cream pie.
