Step 6: Pour and Smooth
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Use a spatula to smooth the tops for even baking.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Avoid opening the oven door too early, as this can cause the cake to sink.
Step 8: Cool
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10–15 minutes.
- Then, carefully remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9: Frost and Serve
- Once cooled, your white cake is ready to be layered and frosted. A classic choice is buttercream frosting or whipped cream frosting.
- For an elegant touch, you can also add fresh berries or edible flowers on top.
Tips for the Perfect White Cake
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensures even mixing and prevents curdling.
- Cake flour: Produces a lighter, more tender crumb than all-purpose flour.
- Do not overmix: Overmixing develops gluten and makes the cake dense.
- Whipped egg whites: Make your cake extra fluffy and soft.
- Cool before frosting: Frosting a warm cake can melt and slide off.
