Best Whipped Cake Ever

🎂 Best Whipped Cake Ever

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1¾ cups granulated sugar

• 4 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan (or two 9-inch round pans).

2. Cream butter and sugar:
   Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (~3–4 minutes).

3. Add eggs one at a time:
   Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla.

4. Whip the flour and milk:
   In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
   Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Beat just until combined.

5. Whip again (the secret!):
   Beat the batter on high speed for 3–5 minutes until it becomes light and airy — this is what makes it the “whipped” cake.

6. Bake:
   Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 35–40 minutes (for 9×13) or 25–30 minutes (for 9-inch rounds), until a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool & frost:
   Let cake cool completely before frosting. Works beautifully with whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, or chocolate ganache.

Tips for Maximum Fluffiness

• Make sure butter is fully softened before creaming.

• Don’t overmix once you add flour — just combine.

• Whipping the batter at the end is key — it traps air and creates the light, cloud-like texture.

• For a super moist cake, brush layers with simple syrup before frosting.

Variations

• Lemon Whipped Cake: Add 2 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp lemon zest.

• Chocolate Whipped Cake: Replace ½ cup flour with cocoa powder.

• Layer Cake: Bake in two 9-inch pans for a stunning stacked cake.

This cake is perfect for birthdays, tea parties, or anytime you need a fluffy, dreamy treat 😋
