Wilton's White Cake Recipe

My favorite White cake recipe has to be from Wilton.

After all, they are the baking genius' of the world. So every time I make cupcakes from the soul I use this recipe... all other times if I'm in a rush I'll use Betty Crocker boxed cake mix, but shhhhh.

So here's a quick look at their recipe should you ever want to try it.

• 6 cups cake flour sifted
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  
• 12 egg whites

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease bottom of pans and line with waxed paper or parchment paper. (Click here for complete instructions on preparing baking pans.)

2. Sift together flour and baking powder. Set aside.

3. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Set aside.

4. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Set aside.

5. With mixer at slow speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture, alternately with milk. Beat well after each addition.

6. Beat in vanilla extract. Gently fold egg whites into batter.

7. Pour into prepared pans and bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
