THE BEST WHITE CAKE RECIPE


This is my favorite white cake recipe! This cake is light, tender, moist, and topped with a delicious vanilla buttercream frosting. To make this cake, you’ll start out by whisking together your dry ingredients some cake flour, baking powder, and salt. When it comes to this cake, I really suggest sticking with cake flour versus all-purpose flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour which creates a tender, fine crumb.



I did test this cake with a cake flour substitute (all-purpose flour + cornstarch) and found that the cake flour version was much lighter and the cake layers were taller too. If you don’t have any cake flour, I’ve included the cake flour substitute in the recipe notes. But if you can get your hands on some cake flour I do recommend it. A few of my favorite cake flours that I’ve used are Pillsbury Softasilk and Swans Down.

Once you’ve mixed the dry ingredients together, whisk together your buttermilk with some vanilla extract and set them both aside.
