Just baked this tonight - fantastic texture, good flavor, but I think I'll add a little almond next time. As of now, it's my favorite white cake recipe.

Somebody else try it out and tell me what you think, please!

Ali,

Do you beat the egg whites separately and fold them in at the last or just add with everything else?

They just go in where the eggs would in any butter cake, they're not whipped and folded in.

Little t is for teaspoon, big T is for tablespoon.

Just ate another piece of it today, and it holds up to refrigeration just fine. A little more dense than yesterday, but still moist & yummy.

I have a white cake recipe that I think is very similar. I have used regular milk instead of butter milk and it still tastes great.
