- This recipe yields a fluffy, snow-white cake that’s light and soft but still sturdy enough to stack or cover with fondant.
RECIPE: sugarspunrun.com/the-best-whi...
Ingredients
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature 85g
2/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oil 160ml
2 cup sugar 400g
1 Tablespoon clear vanilla extract
2 2/3 cup + 2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour 345g
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk room temperature preferred (235ml)
6 large egg whites room temperature
Double batch Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Preheat oven to 350F and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by lining the bottoms with a round of parchment paper and generously greasing and flouring the sides. Be sure to shake out excess flour.
00:39 In a stand mixer (or using an electric mixer), beat butter on medium-low speed until creamy.
00:54 Add sugar and oil and beat until all ingredients are well-combined and creamy.
01:34 Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and then stir in your vanilla extract.
02:13 In separate bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt.
02:42 Measure out your milk.
03:00 With mixer on medium speed, gradually alternate between adding the flour mixture and the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until each one is almost completely combined before adding the next.
03:48 Pause occasionally to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.
03:59 In separate bowl, combine your egg whites and, with a hand-mixer on high-speed, beat until stiff peaks form.
05:26 Using a spatula, gently fold your egg whites into your batter. Take care to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so that ingredients are well-combined, and take care not to over-mix.
06:27 Evenly divide cake batter into prepared pans.
07:37 Bake on 350F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean or with few crumbs (should not be wet). For best results, rotate your cake pans halfway through baking to ensure even baking.
07:49 Cakes will be a light golden brown when done baking.
07:54 Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the inside rim of each pan and invert each onto a cooling rack.
08:17 Allow to cool completely before covering with buttercream frosting*. I used a double batch of my recipe (linked above) to thoroughly cover and decorate this cake.
Notes
If you don't like buttercream frosting, my favorite chocolate frosting or favorite cream cheese frosting would also taste great with this recipe!

This recipe was easy thanks to your tips and techniques! My family LOVED this cake!!! White cake with white frosting (used your ermine frosting recipe) is my husband’s and mom’s absolute favorite combo. He likes buttercream, and she likes whipped cream frosting so ermine was the perfect middle ground. THANK YOU!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was such a hit! 😊
Thank you for the delicious recipe. I made it yesterday the most moist and delicious cake.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Looks supreme 👌
I made this cake for my daughter’s 21st birthday! Amazing!! Such a wonderful flavor and texture. I filled it with the whoopie pie filling (my personal fav) from your other video and iced it with your double batch American buttercream recipe! Everyone said it was the best cake they ever had. Thank you for always bringing the best recipes with clear, concise directions. Thank you for great content! I wish I could share the photo. It was so pretty.

Your cake recipes are perfect! I've tried your funfetti one, which I believe is very similar to this method, and it was somehow light, fluffy and moist all at the same time! Thankyou ❤
You're welcome! I'm glad you have enjoyed all of the cakes! :)
SO WEIRD that you posted this, cause no lie, two nights ago I was searching UA-cam for this recipe and was sad I didn’t see one from you!
Luv your recipes, always a hit!✨

Love your recipe ..I found you by looking for a broccoli salad recipe and you popped up .
And i made your broccoli salad it was delicious ..Thank for sharing your recipes ..
Thank you so much for the support! I’m glad you enjoyed the broccoli salad and I hope you love this cake too! 😊
I've adapted this to my dairy allergy, swapped butter for more oil and milk for canned coconut milk, and it's devine. I've never had vanilla cake so moist and soft.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your feedback using substitutions. :)
I’m from England, and before UA-cam I hadn’t heard of, ‘White cake, it’s an American phenomenon....but so cool...really ,
Must try....
I hope you love it!! 😊😊
I made this cake today and as the first white cake I've ever made that was not poured out of a box, I've got to say, I will definitely be preparing my white cakes with this recipe from now on. This is so delicious and fluffy and flavorful. I normally love chocolate cake but I made a white cake for my friends son's birthday and the store was out of white box mix, so I found this and it is just simply amazing. So delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! I'm so happy it turned out so well for you!
I was doing a recipe test so i divided the ingredients into two.... The cake rose so well, soft and spongy, am happy with the results
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊
Love white cake
Thanks so much for the video. I'd love to see how you make your Frosting. Take care.
I actually have a video for it already. Enjoy! ☺ ua-cam.com/video/IDsW83d3vVA/v-deo.html
Definitely making this tonight. It looks so good. And people laughed when I bought a 25# bag of flour from sams club back in December. To keep it fresh put it in mason jars and use a vacuum sealer.
I hope you love it! ☺
Making this cake for a friend along with your Swiss meringue buttercream. Thank you!!
I hope everyone loves it! :)
@@SugarSpunRun the Swiss meringue buttercream is superb! 🤩
Thank you my friend for this recipe... This is perfect and amazing 👌👏😋
You're welcome! :)
Hello. Been looking for a good recipe for an Italian Cream Cake. I love your video tutorials. They have led me to success every time. I have tried following other videos for the Italian cream cake and its a flop. Hope I see one here soon. Thank you.
I will certainly add it to my list! I'm glad you have enjoyed the other recipes. :)
I love your recipes! All of them are pretty easy to follow and delicious 😋 Do you have a pink champagne recipe? I bet it would be so great for celebration cakes!
I'm so glad you have enjoyed everything so much! Unfortunately I don't have a pink champagne recipe. :(
Nice recipe. Thanks. They sell round parchment paper.
I made this cake today and it was so fluffy and nit too sweet. Everyone loved it 👍🏻
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😊
Ty
I love it
Thank you so much! ☺
I have tied so many cakes yours is the only one that worked . Fabulous recipe . Thanks for replying that it can be split into 3 , 6” pans .
Thank you so much! I'm glad you have enjoyed everything. :)
I'd like instructions for 3 6"pans
Love ur recipes
Thank you so much! 😊
@@SugarSpunRun please make a pineapple cream pie
Where I live I can't find almond or vanilla extract what do u recommend I use want to make this cake for my birthday.. please reply
Hi..can I use a lemon essence for this batter please reply
Using only 300g of granulated sugar, and almond extract instead of vanilla, I made your cake today and it turned out white (as promised), moist and fluffy - delicious 😋.
But it´s still sweet for our liking (we don´t use sugar at our house). Next time I´ll bake it with even less sugar (or may add 1 extra tsp of salt).
Thank you for this great recipe. 👍🏾
I’m so glad you enjoyed it overall. 😊
Yum
All of your recipes are delicious. To make this cake fit into a half sheet pan how many times should I repeat the steps in batches to fit my pan. Another question can I just add almond extract instead of the vanilla extract?
Yum 😋😋
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made cupcakes using this batter, and they came out soooo beautiful! I’ve never made a White Cake mix from scratch, because egg whites make me nervous, but I literally followed your recipe step by step, even making sure to read your blog to make sure I can even make them into cupcakes, and I am so excited with the way they turned out!!!
I'm so happy they were such a success for you! Great job!
This looks AWESOME! So yum! Anyway, would this cake be firm enough for a VERY TALL layer cake such as wedding cake in a large quantity?
Hmm very tall I’m not sure. I know others have made it 4 layers tall without an issue but I’m not sure how high you want to go with it
this type of cake is not normally made here in the UK but i will be trying it. when mixing in the egg whites, use a large metal spoon as it cuts through the egg whites better and will not beat out any of the air that the egg whites have
That's a good tip! Thanks for sharing. :)
I love your channel U have some wonderful recipes. Do U have a recipe for Key Lime Pie ?
Or a sock-it-to-me cake. Thank U
Thank you so much! I do have a key lime pie. :) ua-cam.com/video/3J8H71_NobE/v-deo.htmlsi=omBWi09Qns_1NSJc
But I don't have a sock it to me cake. :(
I use a ladle to divide the batter between my pans. Makes getting both cakes even in size a whole lot easier.😉
Great tip! 😊
Looks amazing! Can I make a suggestion? Try using the wire-like beaters when mixing batter and the flat beaters when beating egg-whites. The thin beaters might not make as much a mess when using them in a batter as the shape of it allows the batter to flow thru rather than up (if that makes sense?)... I see it's a very strong hand mixer so this may help to minimize mixing messes :-)
Thanks for the tip! This mixer is really a powerhouse so it doesn't really matter what I do but I can certainly give it a try. ☺
Sugar Spun Run what happened to a “low” speed on hand mixers. Mine died recently after 30 years, (seriously) and I bought 2 new ones and hate both of them. 😢 they beat too fast.
Fabulous . Please could you advise could I split this into three 6” pans and if I used a cake strip to get flat cakes how long would I need to bake this for ? Many thanx .
You could split it into 3 6 inch pans without any issues but I’m not sure how long they would need to bake.
Thanks for the recipe. Can I use this recipe to make a cookies and cream cake?
I actually have an Oreo cake I would recommend. 😊
How do you keep your weight down. Eating all is good dessert everything’s always looking delicious thanks for sharing👍🏾❤️✌🏿❤️🤗
🤣 Thank you! :)
Hi Sam this cake looks delicious. Will this cake turn out if I double it?? Thanks
It will, but you will want to be careful stirring in the egg whites as to not deflate them.
Hey, there, any tips for baking/making this at altitude? I’m at 4,500ft. Thanks!
Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with high altitude baking so I can 't make any suggestions. I hope it turns out well. :)
Hai akka I am a new subscriber your cake very soft I like it and I love your voice
Thank you so much! :)
Guys literally try this recipe if you want a base vanilla cake for any kind of cake you are going for....it's a great recipe trust me it's coming from someone who's had alot of flopped cakes..lol🤪😂
Thank you so much! :)
Hello there~
Do you think it would be okay to use almond extract instead of vanilla extract? Have you tried this before?
I have not tried almond extract, but if you do you will want to use less because it’s much more potent than vanilla. 😊
Sugar spun run did you only put the egg whites?what about the egg yolks?🤗so much loving it will surely try it out
You only need the egg whites here. :)
@@SugarSpunRun okay .thanks love
Thx for the recipe😊can you please explain what’s the difference between classic vanilla cake and this one (other than the color)? I’m looking for a good recipe to make a birthday cake with fondant. Thank you for responding me as soon as possible ( since the birthday will be Thursday 😔)
The white cake is going to be softer and fluffier. Both will hold up to fondant but the vanilla cake will probably hold up little better to fondant. 😊
Sugar Spun Run thank you😊
What's the difference between a (white cake) vs (vanilla cake)?
TY Sam! Great idea to utilize egg whites for this white cake Unfortunately I only have pure vanilla extract because that's what I use a lot when I bake. I can reduce the vanilla extract if that may help. Stay safe
The pure vanilla extract will just tint the cake a little bit. Personally I would rather have the flavor but if you need the pure white you may want to try reducing it a bit. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Yeah I understand. I cannot find the clear vanilla extract where I live. No supermarket where I live sells it.
It’ll definitely taste good and that’s what counts in my book
Thanks making this for a bday. The baking powder was over powering and i only used half the amount
Hmmm that’s interesting. I wonder if your baking powder is bad? You shouldn’t be able to taste it at all
Turned out great!!!!! It was just the raw dough batter that tasted funny. It is exactly the classic cake dough I was looking for. Typical birthday cake. Very flexible and adaptable. Making another one now to take to school! 👍🏻❤🎂ps i used a half the sugar oil and salt. Was still really good on a 2.5cm thick cake. I will try food coloring and chocolate soon.
Can I use this for making a rainbow cake ? Will the many layers hold well after stacking?
It should work for a rainbow cake, just be sure to not over-mix the batter when you add the coloring. :)
This recipe looks good. I believe the addition of oil certainly helps to keep cake moist. I have two questions: 1. Can buttermilk be used instead of milk or will that throw off some of the other ingredients? 2. Can I use cake flour instead of APF?
Hi Wendy! Buttermilk should work here and cake flour will also work as long as you substitute it properly. :)
Tip: If you want to have even portions, use an ice cream scoop.
You are so pretty!! You remind me of the girl from jaw breaker.
Wrote down the recipe and gonna bake it tomorrow 💜👩🏻🍳
Thank you so much! I hope you love it! 😊
this was posted a day after my daughters birthday
Hi there. I literally just took these cakes out of the oven to cool for 15 minutes but they sunk in the middle. Did a toothpick test and it was clear. Look like they could have baked about 5 more min. I did a entire 40 min. Next time I'll do 45. A good taste thou. Would there be anything else that would have make it sunk.
O no! I’m so sorry this happened! If they sank but were clean with the toothpick you’ll want to be careful not to overmix the batter next time. Over mixing can deflate the egg whites which will cause the cake to sink. 😔
Good morning. Do you have a never fail recipe for pecan pie? If so please share. Thank you.
I do have a pecan pie! 😊 ua-cam.com/video/0OiJi0LTcnA/v-deo.html
@@SugarSpunRun thank you so much for responding so quickly and for sharing youe recipes. I am going to try this.
Hello I want to substitute the milk for buttermilk what would be the measurements for that?
You would use the same amount. The buttermilk will work, but it will make the cake slightly more moist. The whole milk allows this cake to be just a little bit fluffier, so that’s why I use it here.
I just wondering have you ever tried using evaporated milk instead of the other milks?
I have not tried evaporated milk in this cake. :(
Can I possibly add a ½ cup of sprinkles to this recipe so it's more like a funfetti cake? It looks so delicious!
You could, or you could just make my funfetti cake: sugarspunrun.com/funfetti-cake-scratch/
So I finally made this cake. Its moist and delicious. There is only one problem. I feel like its a little yellow. Maybe bcz I used yellow salted butter? Its kind of hard to get my hands on unsalted white butter where I live. Any advice?
Unfortunately the yellow from the butter will make the cake slightly tinted yellow. I have this issue sometimes. Some of the butter I can get is much more pale than others so if you can find one that is a really pale yellow that may help you. :)
Hey sam i want to try this recipe for my Christmas but i don't want to make the two layers i just want one whole cake what pan can i use instead thanks inadvance.
The batter should fit in a 9 x 13. 😊
Hi Sam I'm really hoping u reply to this question do I add the same 1tbls of lemon juice to 11/4 cup of whole milk? Please please reply
There is no lemon juice in this recipe to add anywhere. 😊
For ur vanilla cake how many lime juice do I need to add to 11/4 cup of whole milk want to try this recipe for my birthday cake
Can you make this cake with a pastry cream as the filling? My sister and I were thinking about making this cake for our brothers birthday in a few weeks, and wanted to know if we can use a pastry cream as the filling for this cake your recipe?
You mean in between the layers? That should work fine. You'll just want to put a dam around the edges so it doesn't squish out when you stack the layers. :)
Hey Sam! Can you use the egg whites that comes in the carton? Thanks!
I don’t recommend it because they can be very difficult to whip to stiff peaks and the stiff peaks are vital for this cakes success. 😔
@@SugarSpunRun thank you for getting back to me so quickly! One more question, can I use your vanilla cake recipe to make a rainbow cake or is it better to use white cake for the colors to pop? I’m making two cakes and 12 yolks seems like a look of waste 😩
The vanilla cake will work, but like you said the colors won’t be quite as vibrant. The yellow of the vanilla cake may also tint lighter colors leaving an undesirable color
If im making 2 6-inch pans, how long should they be in the oven for?
Honestly I’ve never baked it in a 6 inch pan so I can’t say for sure. This will make more batter than you need for 2 6 inch pans so make sure to not overfill them. 😊
Hello there! I need a little help. Are your pans 8x3 inches? I will be going to do this recipe using my 2 pcs 8x3 inches round pans. I don’t know how to adjust the ingredients. Your reply will be a very big help! Thank you in advance!😊
They are only 2 inches deep. If you want to fill your 3 inch deep pans you'll need to increase the recipe by 50%. :)
Sugar Spun Run thank you so much! Is it the same time and temp? Can i put the 2 pans inside the oven at once?
Looked good- white cake is my favorite. But I don’t understand why you had to make meringue or whip the egg whites like you did. Can’t I just add the egg whites to the batter as is and then mix?
The whipped egg whites are for the structure/texture of the cake. You won't get the same nice airy texture if you just mix them in.
Can i use the sunflower oil instead of Canola?
Any neutral oil should be fine here. 😊
YES!!! I’ve wanted to make this since watching repeat of Django Unchained. How many minutes should I bake cakes using 9” pans?
In till it's done u will know that if u take a toothpick stick it the cake and if it's wet it's not done if it isn't wet that means it is done.hoped I helped😁
It would definitely be a few minutes less but as Alaya said, the toothpick test is the best way to tell if it is done. ☺
Thanks, I’ll check at 30 mins.
Thank you.
Np😁
Would add almond extract instead of vanilla
What would the measurements be if i needed this recipe for 2 , 12 inch round pans?
I haven't made it in 2 12 in round pans, but I believe you will have to double the recipe. :)
Hey. What happens if I add some of the yolk to the butter and oil mixture. Apart from getting a yellow cake, will it affect the cake badly?
You definitely don't want to introduce egg yolks here. It can dry out the cake pretty quickly and mess with the texture.
@@SugarSpunRun alright. Noted. Thanks for replying
i've noticed that american butter seems really white compared to what we have in australia. our butter is really yellow so its hard to get a really white cake or white buttercream.
I run into that problem a good bit. I can get some butter that is much whiter than others. :)
Could I use liquid egg whites from the carton? That is what I currently have.
That should work fine! 😊
Finally a recipe with normal fat and not something weird like mayonnaise, sour cream, sauerkraut etc.. no you don’t taste it but it’s still weird.
Could I use cake flour for this recipe?
You can, but you will want to make the proper substitution here. You need 1c + 2 TBSP of cake flour for every 1c of all-purpose flour. Enjoy! :)
Hi ❤️ your channel; can I make the cake into a a sheet cake and how lo big to cook?!
It will bake in a 9 x 13 but I’m not sure on time. 😊
I will just do the cake in cupcakes next time ; the cake was great, but one of my layers were bigger than the other in my 9 inch pans ; I tried to make sure I had the same amount of batter fit each pan; so I need to learn to level the layers off!!
I actually weigh my batter in the pans if I really need an exact amount but a cake leveler is also a great investment. They are pretty cheap. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
It was Moist; It’s the Wedding Cake or Anniversary Cake for hubby & I ; Thank you for your prompt reply !!!
What kind of alpurose flour do you use?
Really whatever I can get my hands on. Most of the time it’s a store brand all purpose flour. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun ok 😊 thanks 4 responding
Hi Sam, do you have any white chocolate recipes?
I actually have a few that use white chocolate sugarspunrun.com/white-chocolate-buttercream/ sugarspunrun.com/white-chocolate-brownies-blondies/ along with several cookies and other desserts that use white chocolate chips. If you go to my site and search white chocolate you should see a few. 😊
Thank you, I will explore 😊
Will it taste good with whipped cream?
Sounds good to me! :)
Can this recipe work for moist white cupcakes?
The cupcakes may deflate a little bit but it should work.
What to make this into a 3- 9 layer cake. With the measurements still be the same?
Hi Bellinda! You'll want to increase the recipe by 50% for three 9-inch layers. Keep in mind your cakes will cook quicker in those pans.
Can you add a little sour cream to this cake to keep it moist?
I have already kind of done this with my oreo cake, but honestly I prefer this one as it is. :)
