Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 egg whites
2 sticks butter (room temperature)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk (room temperature)
1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare three 6-inch round cake pans by buttering, flouring, and lining with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract; set aside.
In a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the room-temperature butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the egg whites while mixing on low speed. Increase to high speed until well combined.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and wet mixture to the butter mixture on low speed until just combined.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
