Turn on the oven. Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Dry ingredients: Place the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mix softened butter and 3/4 cup of milk with the dry ingredients. Mix at a medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take around 2-3 minutes.
Add egg whites: Beat the remaining milk, vanilla extract, egg whites, and cream of tartar in a separate bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the batter while mixing at a low speed until well combined.
Bake It: Put the same amount of batter into each cake pan. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling process: Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for around ten minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely before adding frosting.
Tips for serving and storing food.
To serve: Sprinkle some powdered sugar on the cake, and top it with whipped cream or your preferred frosting. It tastes great with fresh berries or a light fruit sauce.
Storage: Store the cake in a sealed container at room temperature for a maximum of 3 days. To make it last longer, you can keep it in the fridge for a week or freeze it for up to three months.
Advice for being successful
Use ingredients at room temperature and mix them together to avoid lumps in the batter.
Do not mix too much: Only mix all the ingredients until they are just combined; otherwise, your cake will be dense.
To measure flour correctly, avoid pressing it down in the measuring cup. This can make your cake too dense.

Reducing Sugar: Decreasing the amount of sugar while still keeping the flavor enjoyable.
When baking, replace some of the regular flour with whole wheat pastry flour.

Questions that people ask a lot.
Q: Is it possible to prepare this cake without gluten? A: Yes, you can replace the cake flour with a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure that the mixture has xanthan gum so it can work as a key ingredient.
Can I use whole eggs instead of just the egg whites? A: This will make the cakes heavier. If you prefer to use whole eggs, use 3 whole eggs instead of 6 egg whites.
Q: How will I know when the cake is ready? A: The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the edges begin to separate from the sides of the pan.
