Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 5 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract (or regular)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the softened butter and vegetable oil. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is crumbly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites, clear vanilla, milk, and sour cream.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, beating until just combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or adding sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Clear vanilla extract gives the cake that classic bakery flavor and bright white color, but regular vanilla works too.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
- This cake pairs beautifully with a whipped vanilla frosting or a light cream cheese frosting.
