Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare three 8 inch or four 6 inch round pans with nonstick spray, parchment paper and another layer of nonstick spray. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. Stir vanilla into buttermilk. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed using the paddle attachment. Cream until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low, add egg whites one at a time. Mixing well after each egg. Add one third of your dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Add one half of your buttermilk. Mix. Alternate ingredients again. Dry, wet, dry and mix gently. Do not over mix. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake 35-40 minutes. Cake is finished when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. Cool 10-20 minutes before inverting cakes from pans. Cool completely before assembling cake or wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not using until the next day.
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until incorporated.

So excited to try this!! Making my sil’s wedding cake and cannot wait. For the frosting - she does want a pretty white cake, so does the buttercream recipe turn out very light beige like in the picture? Do you recommend anything to keep the flavor but maybe make it whiter? Thank you!!
I’m making this cake now and loving it! I’m not sure what’s going on but the buttercream was super soft. I followed the instructions exactly, mixed it for 5 minutes, and then it was super soft. I added some powdered sugar and then it got super grainy and greasy looking. Would love some tips
My son loves the brown butter snickerdoodles from your new cookbook and requested this cake for his upcoming baptism. Since he loved the cookies so much, I wondered if browning the butter for this cake to make it a brown butter snickerdoodle cake would be an option? It would take this cake to a whole news level of deliciousness. Would I need to change any elements to the cake at all or just brown the butter and make everything as usual? Thanks!
I made this cake and it was amazing…everyone loved it. I do have a question though. I only have 9-inch round pans. I still did 3 and it seemed to be fine, would it be better to just do 2?
Did you make this recipe?
