Author: Courtney ODell

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sifted cake flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs separated
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract I use madagascar vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Filling:
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2-3 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a stand mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
  • While the egg whites are mixing, beat egg yolks until frothy and lighter yellow.
  • Slowly add vanilla and sugar, mix until mixture has doubled.
  • Fold in egg whites slowly, followed by the flour mixture.
  • Spray delectoval pan generously with cake spray.
  • Fill pan 1/3 full and bake for 8 minutes, or until sides are slightly browned and springy to the touch.
  • Let cool on a cookie rack in the pan and then slide cakes out using a knife to loosen from pan (if necessary.)
  • While cooling mix filling ingredients until light and fluffy. Using a Bismarck Tip #230, pipe filling into your cakes from the bottom of the cake in 3-4 places along the cake. This spreads best if done when cool or icing will melt into cake.
