Ingredients
- 2 C flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 C butter
- 1 3/4 C sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 egg whites (I usually add the yolks)
- 1 1/3 C buttermilk or sour milk (add a 1 Tbls vinegar to the milk)
1. Sift dry ingredients.
2. Beat butter. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat until mixed. Add egg whites and beat one at a time.
3. Add dry mix and milk alternately.
4. Pour in a prepared pan and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Makes 2- 8 1/2 inch cakes.
Tip: I tried many ways to prevent the finished cake from sticking to the pan. Nothing worked well. The butter and flour baked into the cake, and the wax paper pulled the cake apart. It's not ideal because of the ingredients, but baker sprays work the best.
Do you know of another way keep cakes from sticking to the pan?
