breathe and bake.

I made a white, double layered cake with a whipped white chocolate pudding icing. I put strawberries and icing in between the layers. It was the whitest, most delicious cake I've ever made.

1 cup milk
4 egg whites
1 tbsp vanilla extract (personal taste. I love vanilla flavoring! can add less if you'd like)
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4c margarine (or butter)

sift together the dry. beat in the butter. add in the egg whites (do not mix egg whites before adding them in). I added in one at a time and mixed for about 20 seconds each. then add in your milk and vanilla. I placed parchment paper in the bottom of two 9X9 pans. Place in a 350 F oven for about 20 or so minutes. Just watch the cakes as they bake. When it starts to brown around the edge and center is when you should consider taking it out : )

For the icing, I had two small boxes of white chocolate pudding mixture. I mixed them with one cup of milk, let sit for a few minutes, and then whisked in the BIG container of Lite Whipped cream. After the cakes were cooled, I spread the icing on the first layer, put some sliced strawberries on top, then put the other cake on top, and did the same. I made this cake the day before 4th of July, so I waited til the next day to add the strawberries and blueberries on top.

Was super delicious ! I love that the batter for the cake tastes like sugar cookie dough. A lot of people who ate the cake said the actual cake tasted like sugar cookies smell. Which was a big hit if you like sugar cookies.
