Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Cake flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Egg whites
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cups Heavy whipping cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternately add the dry ingredients and whole milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cakes cool, make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gradually add the heavy whipping cream and continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 9

To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of frosting over the top.

Step 10

Place the second cake layer on top and spread frosting over the top and sides. Smooth out the frosting with a spatula for an even finish.

Step 11

Decorate as desired (e.g., with coconut flakes for a rustic snowy effect) and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving for best results.
