For an extra moist cake, brush the cooled cake layers with a simple syrup before frosting. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a tender crumb. Don't overmix the batter after adding the egg whites – gentle folding is key to maintaining the cake's light and airy texture. For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of shortening.

Jul 8, 2024This cake is unbelievably light! I used it as the base for a strawberry shortcake, and it was a huge hit.

Aug 19, 2023I found that baking the round cakes for slightly less time (about 32 minutes) resulted in an even more moist and tender crumb.

Apr 23, 2023I substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and it gave the cake a lovely subtle flavor. Will definitely make this again!
