Birthday Cake

Serves: 10

Print this Recipe

This is the snowy-white cake so many of us associate with birthdays, a perfect match for fluffy Seven-Minute Frosting. Because it’s so delicate and light, it requires careful preparation: make sure the ingredients are room temperature, and that you’ve measured your ingredients precisely.


   2 cups sifted cake flour
   1 tablespoon baking powder
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   4 eggs whites, room temperature
   2/3 cup granulated sugar, finely ground in a food blender for 2 minutes
   1/3 cup canola oil
   1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
   2 teaspoons vanilla extract
   1 teaspoon almond extract


1. Arrange the oven racks to divide the oven into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 8-inch round baking pans with parchment or wax paper rounds and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt onto a sheet of wax paper.

3. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the whites until foamy, 1 minute; gradually add 1/3 cup of the sugar and beat until firm peaks form, 3-4 minutes.

4. In another large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine the oil, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla and almond extracts; beat until well blended, 30 seconds. Whisk in about half of the flour mixture, then alternately fold in the remaining flour with the beaten whites. Spread evenly in the prepared pans and bake 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Exchanges
