White Velvet Cake

I had baked this cake for Sprig Gourmet – Bake my Day contest 6 months ago and this is my THE most favorite cake till date. I love Velvet cakes in general, and since this one doesn’t use any food colors and rely heavily on egg whites for color and texture, this is really heavenly delicious cake. I am running out of adjectives to describe this gorgeous cake

All the ingredients mentioned in the recipe should be at room temperature, it’s best to use weighing scale to measure out ingredients and you cannot go wrong with this white beauty. This is 2 layered cake, depending on the layers required , increase or decrease the quantities of ingredients

Do try this recipe and I am sure , you too will not stop singing praises for this melt in mouth amazing cake
