My sweet Talia asked for a purple cake for her birthday, so here is my first try. This one will be enjoyed tomorrow when I take her to lunch with my grandmother. Tender White Cake recipe by King Arthur Flour 2-3/4 cup unbleached cake flour 1-2/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup (12-tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened 4 large egg whites plus one whole egg 1 cup full fat vanilla yogurt OR 1 cup whole milk (I used yogurt) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract I put everything in a Kitchen-Aid mixer on medium speed, stopping a few times to scrape down the sides. I then baked it in a 6-inch heart shaped cake pan for 40 min at 350 degrees. The recipe says this is enough batter for two 8 or 9 round cakes, one 9x13 cake or 20-24 cupcakes. When I cooked it in the 6-inch heart shaped pan (on sale for $9 at Sur la Table) I halved this recipe and it was the perfect amount for a small cake. I snuck a nibble of the finished cake from the top before I frosted it and it was delicious! I used purple food coloring to dye the cake batter and the frosting. Talia said purple, and purple she gets!
