Note: In some of the comments, some visitors said they would like a cake which was a tad more moist. So I modified the recipe a little bit in order to achieve a cake which would be more to their liking. The second version is also included.

Ingredients for Best White Cake Recipe

3 sticks butter - softened, 3/4 cup - no substitute

1 3/4 cups white sugar

6 egg whites - at room temperature

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - sifted

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoonsalt

1 cup milk - at room temperature

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon rum extract - optional, if not using double either the vanilla or almond extracts

Method for this Homemade White Cake Recipe

With a stand mixer - or a hand mixer - cream the butter and the sugar together. Add the egg whites, one at a time. Mix on high until your mixture is very light and creamy - about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, place all the remaining dry ingredients and mix with a whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Add the flour to the butter-sugar-egg white mixture, add the milk and the extracts and combine until well blended but be careful to not over mix.

1) Place your batter into a greased and floured 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 F or 45 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

2) You can also use two 9 inch cake pans which you have lined with parchment paper and greased. Bake at 350 F or 35 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool for a few minutes before unmolding. Cool completely before frosting.
