The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: For easy removal, you can also line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper.
- 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Sifting is crucial for a light and airy texture, so don't skip this step.
- 3
Add the softened butter and the first portion of milk to the dry ingredients.
About 1 min
- 4
Mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined, then increase the speed to high and beat for one minute until the mixture is pale and thick.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: This reverse creaming method helps create a very fine, tender crumb.
- 5
Stop the mixer and use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
About 1 min
- 6
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, the remaining milk, and the almond extract until just combined.
About 1 min
- 7
With the mixer on low speed, gradually pour the egg white mixture into the batter in three additions.
About 1 min
- 8
Once all the liquid is added, increase the speed to high and beat for one minute until the batter is smooth, light, and fluffy.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as the batter is smooth.
- 9
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
About 1 min
- 10
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
About 30 min
- 11
Let the cakes cool in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- 12
Carefully invert the cakes onto the wire rack, remove the pans, and let them cool completely before frosting.
About 1 hr
Cook’s note: Ensure cakes are fully cooled to prevent the frosting from melting.
