White Buttermilk Cake Recipes

WHITE BUTTERMILK CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch cake pan or spray with baking spray. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together softened butter, sugar, vanilla and almond flavorings. Beat for 5 minutes until creamy and pale yellow in color.
• Add the egg whites. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy.
• Lower the speed of the mixer, and add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk. Stop and scrape the beater and sides of the bowl periodically so all of the ingredients fully combine.
• After all ingredients have been added, increase the mixer speed and beat for 1 minute longer.
• Spread the batter evenly in pan. Bounce the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.
• Bake for 35-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.
• Cool completely. Frost as desired.

BASIC BUTTERMILK CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 with rack in the middle of the oven. Butter cake pans and line the bottoms with wax paper or parchment paper cut to fit. Butter the paper. If making cupcakes, use paper liners or butter the cupcake pan.
• Beat the butter and sugar at medium speed with electric mixer until light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time. Scrape bowl and beaters to incorporate.
• Sift the flour with the baking powder and baking soda. Add one quarter of the dry mixture to the butter-egg mixture and then add the vanilla and a third of the buttermilk. Repeat beginning and ending with the flour mixture and scraping well after each addition.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pans and spread to the edges with a spatula. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
• Cool in pans of a rack for 5 minutes. Turn pans onto the rack, remove parchment paper or was paper and cool completely before frosting.

BUTTERMILK WHITE LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch round baking pans.
• Beat butter and vanilla extract together in a bowl until creamy. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, into flour mixture until fully incorporated.
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly. Fold egg white mixture into batter until just combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Spread frosting atop one of the cakes and top with second cake. Spread the remaining frosting over the top cake and around the sides of both cakes.
