Bóymoder Egg Whites Cake
Ingredients
- 240g flour (2 cups)
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 5 eggs
- 250g cup granulated sugar (1¼ cups)
- 120ml whole milk (½ cup)
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla (optional)
Preparations
- Preheat your oven to 175C (350F)
- Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper on the bottom, flour and butter on the sides
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour and baking powder (also the salt)
- Whisk so everything is well distributed
- Now with a large bowl (or bowl of your stand mixer) and a medium bowl, separate the white and yolk of the eggs, whites going into the large bowl, yolks into the medium
- With your stand mixer or electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they start getting lighter and fluffier
- As you beat, slowly add about ¼ cup of the sugar until stiff peaks form
- Add the rest of the sugar to the bowl with the yolks, beat until the color lightens
- Add the milk to the yolks and sugar and beat until homogeneous
- Add the yolk mixture to the flour mixture and gently mix until combined
- Add half of the beaten egg whites to the flour mixture, gently mix until combined
- Add the rest of the beaten egg whites and even more gently mix until combined
- Pour the batter into the pan
- Bake for around 30 minutes depending on the thickness of your cake (dependent on the baking pan you are using), once the cake starts pulling off the edges and a skewer inserted in the middle comes off clean, it is done
- Enjoy your boymoder egg whites cake :3
Notes
- Do not overbeat the mixture after the flour is added! If you develop the proteins on the flour, you're cake might fall after coming out of the oven
- Measure the flour properly, adding more flour than intended might cause the cake to fall! (See: measuring flour)
- Be a good boymoder and crack the eggs in a separate bowl so no shells get into your precious cake!
