Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg whites one at a time until fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or top with powdered sugar, glaze, or fresh berries.

Notes

  • Add a touch of almond extract for a different flavor profile.
  • Top with a simple vanilla glaze or fresh fruit for a fruity twist.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a subtle crunchy crust.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
