Can I please have a recipe for white cupcakes and cake?
Hi Deborah, Here's one of our favorite White Cake Recipes:
WHITE CAKE (two 8 inch round layer pans)
2 cups sifted Swans Down Cake Flour
¾ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
¾ cup milk
2 ½ tsp. baking powder
¼ cup sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temp.
3 large egg whites
Preheat oven 350°F. Butter & lightly flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Sift Swans Down Cake Flour once, measure, add 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt, sift again. Beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Add ¼ cup sugar, 2 Tbsp. at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until egg whites form stiff shiny peaks.
Stir butter to soften, add flour mixture, milk and vanilla. Mix until all flour is moistened; then beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add meringue mixture and beat 1 minute longer. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake about 20–25 minutes or until cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes; then remove from pans and finish cooling on racks.
Alternate baking pans:
One 13 X 9-inch pan for 25 minutes
One 9-inch square pan for 25 minutes
Where is the recipe? I only see a picture and comments.
Hi Melissa, Try refreshing your page. Your page may not have loaded correctly. Happy baking!
Loved the recipe! Do you have any archived white cake recipes?
HI Erin, Here's a link to our recipe booklet page where you can find several White Cake Recipes.https://swansdown.com/recipe-booklets/ The red Cakes Secrets booklet has several! Happy Baking!
These are Amazing. Soft and fluffy
I love Swans Cake Flour. I discovered it a few years ago when a recipe for chocolate chip cookies called for cake flour (maybe some of you know this recipe? It’s become quite popular and it’s amazing. I think due to the cake flour!)
I’m looking to make these cupcakes. Wondering if I can use 2% milk as I never have whole milk on hand. I do always have half and half. Appreciate any guidance!
Hi Crystal, You can substitute whole milk with 2% milk. Happy baking!
Please send me some recipes for a plain white cake.
Thank you
Hi Kathy, Your information was forwarded to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone will be sharing white cake recipes with you. Happy baking!
These are the best cupcakes I’ve ever made. The taste is light, yet fluffy. Oh so good. My new go-to cupcake recipe. It’s also nice to know they are light on the gluten.
Can you use coconut milk instead of reg milk? And can I use Splenda instead of sugar?
Hi Pamela, You can substitute whole milk with coconut milk with no other adjustments necessary. We have not tested this recipe using Splenda or a sugar alternative. You would have to check with Splenda to see what the conversion would be. We'd love to know the results. Happy baking!
Would love a true white cake recipe for 2-9inch rounds
Hi Lisa, Check your email. We sent you a few of our favorite white cake recipes. Happy baking.
Hi!
Could you send me a recipe for just a plain white cake that I can bake in a 19x9 pan. I have the flour and have made other recipes but can’t find a recipe for just plain white cake. Thank you!!
Hi Pat, Check your email. We sent you a few of our favorite white cake recipes. Happy baking.
