Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 200 grams (1 ½ cups) All-Purpose Flour (I use Gold Medal)
  • 2 Tablespoons Instant Clearjel or 3 Tablespoons White Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix (Or use vanilla instant pudding mix. White chocolate makes a slightly lighter golden color. Please make sure the instant clearjel is labeled as INSTANT, see Note #1)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Buttermilk
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Almond Extract or additional Vanilla extract (I love the almond flavor with this cake, but you can substitute with equal parts vanilla extract if desired)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

Creamed Ingredients

  • 200 grams (1 cup) Sugar
  • 1 stick (4 oz) Salted Butter (at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1 large Egg(s)

Whipped Ingredients

  • 2 Egg Whites

Instructions

  1. Make the Vanilla Cake Preheat Oven to 325 degrees. Line ¼ Sheet pan with parchment paper, and then spray bottom (on top of the parchment) and sides of the sheet pan with cooking spray…
  2. Freeze the cake layers The delicate cake will be easiest to layer from cold or frozen–allow the cake to cool, then wrap the cake in the pan thoroughly in plastic wrap. Freeze the cake in the pan for at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks ahead of time (brush the cake with simple syrup if freezing for more than a couple of days–see Note #2)…
  3. Prepare the Strawberry Filling and Vanilla Buttercream Make the 1x batch of strawberry compote cake filling and the 1x batch vanilla frosting according to the recipe instructions. Allow the strawberry filling to fully cool…
  4. Frost the Cake The easiest way to layer the vanilla cake is to layer the cake from frozen the day before you plan to serve it. If serving the cake the same day you are layering it, use refrigerated cake layers instead of frozen…

Notes

  • Make sure to fold in the whipped egg whites gently to maintain the cake’s light and airy texture.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider adding a layer of fresh sliced strawberries between the cake layers.
