Buttermilk White Layer Cake Recipe

Recipe by: Jenykell

"I would suggest to mix the butter with the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk to that without the sugar, then beat the egg whites with the sugar to create a meringue (until the mixture forms peaks) and fold that mixture in with the rest of the cake."

  • Ready In1 h 45 m
  • 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch round baking pans.
  • 2Beat butter and vanilla extract together in a bowl until creamy. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, into flour mixture until fully incorporated.
  • 3Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly. Fold egg white mixture into batter until just combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking pans.
  • 4Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 5Spread frosting atop one of the cakes and top with second cake. Spread the remaining frosting over the top cake and around the sides of both cakes.
Footnotes
  • Cook's Notes:
  • If you don't have buttermilk, place a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup and fill to 1 cup with milk. Allow to stand for 5 minutes and you have a perfect buttermilk substitute. Adjust amounts as needed.
