I couldn't believe it. The most soft, velvety WHITE CAKE I've ever made! White vanilla cake recipe

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/moist-wh...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
This white cake has the most soft, tender crumb and is so easy to put together! Bursting with vanilla flavour and a slight touch of almond flavour to provide a more complex flavour, this will be your new go to white cake! Perfect for birthday and wedding cakes.
INGREDIENTS:
White Cake
▢2⅓ cups (300 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 on blog post if you want to use cake flour)
▢¼ cup (25 g) cornflour - also known as cornstarch
▢2½ tsp baking powder
▢½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
▢1 cup (240 g) milk - room temperature
▢1 tsp white vinegar
▢6 large (225 g) egg whites - room temperature, size 7 eggs
▢½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢½ cup (105 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
▢1¾ cups (350 g) white granulated sugar
▢2½ tsp vanilla essence/extract - use a clear version for a whiter cake
▢1 tsp almond essence/extract - use a clear version for a whiter cake
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you don't have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
▢1½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢3 cups (375 g) icing sugar - also known as powdered sugar/confectioners sugar

You could add a tiny drop of purple food coloring to the batter to counteract the yellow color and make it even whiter looking.

I am a total fan of your recipes ! They are all so good thank you so much for your hard work 🫶🏻 I want to try this cake for a 2 tiers cake I’m making, but I would like to know if this cake is alright for holding weight ( the pressure of another cake on top of it ), do you think it would be fine for a 2 tiers birthday cake ?

[@mypc6628]

plz share recipe of red velvet Brownies as well

[@gracianomaso3333]

Hi. One question. Do you think it can work if i omit the baking powder? Lately i have been experimanting with recipes, seeing if a cake can raise based on the air incorporated in the creaming of the butter and sugar, and then adding egg whites beaten to stiff peaks at the end.

[@sohajannat3239]

[@faribamogh2388]

Can we bake this cake in one pan ? If yes , what size should it be ?

[@advocaterishitamall]

Looks yum 😋 Please try a finger millet flour cake with jaggery powder, eggless and without vegetable oil (coz it mostly contains palm oil)... Perhaps unsalted butter will work... I know you do bakery cakes, but would love to see your findings on how to go about the above cake... I've seen other recipes, but I am so looking forward to your take on it...

[@anderson8601]

The algorithm is pretty damn weird!!! Honestly, I watched a video yesterday about white velvet cake and here you are with your recipe lol!!! Anyways, have you ever tried using evaporated milk to get your buttermilk substitute? An experienced cake decorator advised me to use evaporated milk instead.

[@CakesbyMK]

Haha KZbin knows what you want! :) And ooohh I've never tried that before, I'll have to try evaporated milk sometime! Thanks for the tip :)

[@TShashini266]

Hi instead of using vegetable oil can I use melted margarine? Thank you

[@shalbmd7905]

Can we put some melted white chocolate in the batter?

[@yasminhosein2094]

Hi MK, I tried this white cake recipe in a no sugar (I used stevia), low carb version. Wish I could send you a picture but it came out very good. I did a cream cheese butter frosting with bittersweet chocolate on top. This is a perfect recipe thank you so much.

[@ThePrincessincognita]

I'd love to know what substitutes you used. I'm always trying to find new cake recipes for my diabetic husband.

[@mema3258]

This cake is absolutely delicious. My family and I loved it. The perfect amount of sweet, the cake was moist and fluffy and balanced well with the icing. I'll be making it again soon.

[@shelly6123]

Looks delicious. It’s hard to find a really good white cake recipe. Just a tip it’s easier to separate your eggs if they’re cold, then at room temperature. Less of a chance of the yolk breaking into the whites.

[@CakesbyMK]

Ahhh I had no idea! Thanks for the tip Shelly :D

[@blueismylove3128]

But then it takes a while for the eggs to get to room temperature. Lol. If you're impatient like me, I like to put my eggs in hot water for 5 min then remove the yolks by hand and then just wash them after.

Can I use yogurt instead of better milk?
