White Layer Cake

½ c. butter, softened

1 ½ c. sugar

4 egg whites

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 c. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. salt

1 1/3 c. buttermilk

2 ½ c. frosting of your choice

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.

Spread evenly into two greased and floured 9-inch round baking pans.  (I actually just poured it into one and it turned out beautifully.)

Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.  Spread frosting between layers and over the top and sides of cake.
