When I decided to make vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, Tricia pointed me in the way of Bridget's White cake comparison. It was amazing to read all she had! I chose to make the Classic White Layer Cake from CI. I was not disppointed at all! They were fantastic, first flavor to sell out at the bakesale!
Classic White Layer (Cup)Cakes
2¼ cups cake flour, plus more for dusting the pans
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
6 large egg whites at room temperature
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¾ cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour milk, egg whites, and extracts into 2-cup glass measure, and mix with fork until blended.
Mix cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in bowl of electric mixer at slow speed. Add butter; continue beating at slow speed until mixture resembles moist crumbs, with no powdery streaks remaining.
Add all but ½ cup of milk mixture to crumbs and beat at medium speed (or high speed if using handheld mixer) for 1½ minutes. Add remaining ½ cup of milk mixture and beat 30 seconds more. Stop mixer and scrape sides of bowl. Return mixer to medium (or high) speed and beat 20 seconds longer.
Divide batter evenly between 24 cupcake liners. Fill about half way. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
