Serving Size: 24

Cooking Time: 80 minutes

Ingredients

• 2.25 Cups cake flour, sifted
• 1.5 Cups white sugar
• 3.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Cup shortening, melted
• 1 Cup whole milk
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 4 Large egg whites, whisked

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round pans to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the shortening, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
3. In a separate clean, dry glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will incorporate air, making the cake light and fluffy.
4. Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s). For a 9x13 inch cake, bake for 35 to 40 minutes. For 9-inch rounds, bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
7. Once cooled, frost with your choice of French Silk Frosting or a light buttercream for a perfect finish. Enjoy your Velvety Vanilla Cloud Cake as a delightful treat for any occasion!
