Easy White Cake

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Using butter, butter and flour 3 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In the bowl of the power mixer on moderate speed, cream together the butter and white sugar. Do not skimp out on this stage - one of the tips for the final structure of this particular cake is always to entirely cream the butter and white sugar together - up to 10 minutes is probably great.
3. Add the eggs one by one, beating really well following each of them. Clean along the sides of the bowl while you work.
4. In a different bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda well. Add flour to the butter and white sugar and mix very well.
5. Mix batter until really consistent. Pour batter into well prepared pans, separating equally.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes. When done the middle of the cake should be lightly golden and also the middle will spring back to the touch. A cake tester or skewer placed in to the middle should come away totally clean.

Recipe Notes
I imagine whenever all is actually said and done this is not actually a white cake - white cakes are meant to be snowy white, and this is typically done simply by ommitting the egg yolks, and volume is typically acheived through folding beaten egg-whites in to the batter. This cake however, is quite, really light and so amazingly tasty and moist you definitely will not mind.
This dessert couples properly with any number of frostings, and possibly a lot better, will take to alterations in extracts perfectly. Almond is delightful, along with orange, lime or lemon extracts. I have also created this with cream rather than half and half and 1 1/2 cups of chocolate sandwich cookies within the batter, together with a white buttercream adorned with plenty of the cookies whole (that is my Ricky's preferred). Try every combination. It's really a scrumptious strategy to process a group of tests!
