White Cake

White Cake

EverydaySweetened

White cake is a classic American layer cake characterized by its pale color and airy, tender crumb, achieved by using egg whites instead of whole eggs. This sweetened dessert typically combines refined wheat flour, sugar, and butter or oil, resulting in a high-carbohydrate profile with notable added sugars. Often paired with buttercream frosting, it is a celebratory staple but may contain common allergens like gluten, dairy, and eggs.
