Ingredients 

Vanilla Cake

  • 150 g all purpose flour (1 ¼ c.)
  • 1 ¼ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 175 g granulated sugar (¾ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 85 g unsalted butter room temperature, cubed (6 tbsp.)
  • 25 g vegetable oil (2 tbsp.)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 60 g sour cream room temperature (¼ c.)
  • 100 g whole milk room temperature (3 ⅓ oz.)
  • 2 egg whites

Whipped Cream

  • 240 g heavy whipping cream (8 oz.)
  • 25 g granulated sugar (2 tbsp.)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • ⅛ tsp. salt

Berries

  • 1 ½ cups berries of choice

Instructions 

Vanilla Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter a 7" springform pan*, then coat the inside with sugar.
  • To a medium sized mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cubed butter. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to beat the mixture together until the butter has completely combined with the dry ingredients and no lumps remain.
  • Add in the oil, vanilla, sour cream and milk. Whisk the ingredients together just until a cohesive batter has formed.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks.
  • Add the egg whites to the batter and gently fold them into the batter until the mixture is cohesive.
  • Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then put it out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Whipped Cream

  • (Save this step for when you're ready to serve the cake.) In a large mixing bowl, with a hand or stand mixer, beat together the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt until the mixture reaches soft peaks.
  • Once the cake has fully cooled to room temperature, pile on the whipped cream and top with your favorite berries. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store extra cake sealed airtight in the fridge.
 
*You can use an 8" springform pan, just note that your cake will be a tad shorter.
