  • - Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • #### For the cake:
  • - 1 1/2 cups cake flour sifted
  • - 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • - 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • - 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • - 1 large egg white
  • - 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 1/2 cup whole milk room temperature
  • #### Optional toppings:
  • - Powdered sugar for dusting
  • - Whipped cream or vanilla buttercream frosting
  • - Fresh berries or sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • #### 1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • #### 2. Mix the dry ingredients:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • #### 3. Cream the butter and sugar:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • #### 4. Add wet ingredients:
  • Beat in the egg white, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • #### 5. Combine the batter:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • #### 6. Bake:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • #### 7. Cool and serve:
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with your favorite frosting and garnishes.
