How To Bake Simple White Cake

White cake is a vanilla-flavored cake that is created without the use of egg yolks. White cakes come in two varieties: butter cakes and sponge cakes. Angel food cake is a form of sponge cake that is classified as a white cake due to the use of solely egg whites in its preparation. [1] White cake is used in desserts such as icebox cake and several charlotte russe and trifle variations. The creaming or reverse creaming processes can be used to manufacture white cake; the latter can be utilized to build tier cakes with a tighter crumb. Because of the appearance and texture of the cake, it is a popular choice for tiered wedding cakes.

Final Thought:

If you don’t have a 9-inch square pan, a 10-inch round pan will work just as well.
Line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper liners to create cupcakes. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated oven.
