Here is a easy cake recipe. A friend from high school said she loved the blog!! YAY! Our first official fan!
~ok~ besides you Mother.
So here Lezlee, it's super easy and very light. I save my yolks for ice cream (usually), but creme brulee, custards, flan are also good. . . :) thanks for reading!!
Ingredients
3/4 cup (6 oz.) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 large egg whites
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 vanilla beans, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved, beans set aside
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Put butter and granulated sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add egg whites, milk, vanilla extract, and vanilla seeds; mix until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt; mix until just combined. Divide batter among prepared pans (non-stick spray the pan, then put a layer of parchment paper, then spray again) until about 3/4 full.
Bake in preheated oven until very light golden brown, approximately 24-27 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack.
Frosting to follow. . . . The cake you see here is going to have a strawberry mousse filling and vanilla bean buttercream.
It's for my girlfriend Maria. It's my contribution for birthday party at the Griffin in Atwater Village on Wednesday night. I haven't seen her for a while, and pretty sure some of my other fellow Chef friends will be there too! Good Times!
