WHITE CAKE RECIPE: (makes two 8 x 3" round cakes or one 12 x 3" round)
This recipe can be modified to make flavored cakes by playing with flavor additions to the liquid

3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 Tb baking powder
1/2 ts salt
1/2 cup milk + 1/2 cup water
1 ts vanilla
6 large egg whites
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line baking pans with parchment circles. Beat butter and sugar in a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Sift dry ingredients together and set aside. Combine 1/2 c. water, 1/2 c. milk and vanilla. Add to the butter/sugar mixture alternately with the dry ingredient mixture, beating until smooth after each addition.

In a second clean mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Using a large spatula, fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, stop as soon as the mixture is incorporated.

Pour into prepared pans and place in center of the oven. Bake 30-40 minutes for 8" cakes or 40-50 minutes for 12" cake. The tops of the cakes should be nicely golden, and a tester inserted in the center should come out clean.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE FILLING RECIPE: (makes 2 cups)

1 stick salted butter, melted
2/3 cups sifted Special Dark cocoa or Dutch processed cocoa
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
1/3 cup whole (or your choice of) milk
1 ts vanilla extract

Add cocoa and sugar alternately to melted butter in a stand mixer, mix slowly. Add vanilla and milk and blend well. F.Y.I. From my experience, one batch of this will ice 14 cupcakes
