Step-by-Step Instructions for The Best White Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter until creamy. Add sugar and oil, mixing until fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add clear vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the creamed mixture, alternating with room temperature milk.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter using a spatula.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  9. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
