WHITE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, lightly mist three 6-inch diameter cake pans with non-stick spray, and line them with circles cut from parchment.
• Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and whisk to combine.
• Place the sour cream, oil, egg whites, and almond extract in another bowl, and whisk to combine.
• Add the sour cream mixture to the flour mixture, and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute, to aerate the batter and build the cake's structure.
• Divide the batter equally between the 3 prepared pans, and rap each one sharply on the counter to eliminate any large air bubbles.
• Bake the cakes for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part comes out clean.
• Cool completely before frosting.

WHITE ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 3 round cake pans.
• Stir together the white cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well mixed. Pour in the water, sour cream, vegetable oil, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg whites, and beat with an electric mix on low until all the ingredients are mixed and moistened but some lumps still remain.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans, and bake in the preheated oven until the top is a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes-30 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk one cup of milk with 5 tablespoons of flour. Heat over medium until the mixture begins to sputter, whisking constantly. Continue to stir as the mixture thickens. You will know it's done when it reaches the consistency of thick cake batter (This took only a couple of minutes for me, but it can take longer). Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract, and a pinch of salt, and set aside to cool completely.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or using a hand-held mixer, beat 2 sticks of softened butter (1 cup) with 1¼ cups of granulated sugar until light, fluffy, and white in color, about 3 solid minutes of beating on medium-high speed. You want the sugar to be totally incorporated and dissolved into the butter. If it's a little gritty, don't worry. The sugar will dissolve at the frosting sets.
• Be sure that the milk/flour mixture has completely cooled, and add it to the butter/sugar mixture. Beat all ingredients for about 1 minute on high-speed, scraping down the bowl halfway, until they are smooth and well blended. The frosting should be as light and fluffy as whipped cream.

CLASSIC WHITE ALMOND BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. In large mixer bowl, beat butter until fluffy and lighter in color, about 5-8 minutes.
• 2. Turn mixer on low and slowly add confectioners sugar little by little. Make sure that sugar is incorporated prior to adding more. Frequently scrape down sides of the bowl.
• 3. Add salt, meringue powder if using, vanilla and almond extracts and butter flavoring until combined, frequently scrapping down sides of the bowl.
• 4. Add cream one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
• 5. Increase mixer speed to medium and continue beating frosting until it is almost pure white and fluffy, about 5 minutes. You are whipping air into your buttercream for that light and airy texture.
• 6. Frost cake(s) or store in airtight container until ready for use. You may keep at room temperature for up to 2 days. It will keep in refrigerator until expiration date on the butter used. Freeze for up to 1 month. If your buttercream has been refrigerated or frozen, bring to room temperature and rewhip, adding cream if needed to get desired texture.
