Super Moist White Cake

I found this recipe at the taste of home website here and tweaked it to my needs. I have always wanted to find a moist from scratch white cake mix and this worked great for my daughters cupcakes for her birthday. Hope that you enjoy. It is moist soft and just what you want a white cake to be.


Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour (or cake flour)
1 1/2 cups + 2Tablespoons superfine sugar (make your own with a blender)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
3/4 cup butter, softened (no sub.)
4 large egg whites + 1 large egg
1 cup + 2 Tbs milk
3Tbs Vanilla

Directions:
Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, using a mixer to aerate.
Add softened butter and mix to a "paste".
Add egg whites, one at a time, then mix in whole egg. Beat to build volume after each.
Mix milk and extract, add to cake, 1/3 at a time, beating and keeping the mixture fluffy.

Bake at 325º-350º.
Grease and flour pans of choice:

2-8" or 9" round or square cake pans

1-9"x13" pan, or cupcake tins (using papers).

Check at 5 minute intervals after 18-20 minutes for cupcakes or layer pans, 30 minutes for 9"x13"
