Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt ((scant))
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup oil
  • 2 egg whites ((large))
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, lightly mist three 6-inch diameter cake pans with non-stick spray, and line them with circles cut from parchment. 
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and whisk to combine. 
  • Place the sour cream, oil, egg whites, and almond extract in another bowl, and whisk to combine. 
  • Add the sour cream mixture to the flour mixture, and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute, to aerate the batter and build the cake's structure.  
  • Divide the batter equally between the 3 prepared pans, and rap each one sharply on the counter to eliminate any large air bubbles. 
  • Bake the cakes for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part comes out clean.  
  • Cool completely before frosting.
