Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until light and airy.
  3. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites using an electric mixer until they reach stiff peaks.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes.
  9. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  10. Frost the cake with your desired frosting, slice, and serve with fresh berries or fruit compote.
