History of White Cake:

White cake is a classic and timeless dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It is believed to have originated in Europe during the 18th century, and its popularity quickly spread to America. The simplicity and elegance of a white cake, with its delicate flavor and fluffy texture, made it a popular choice for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays.

Fun Fact:

Did you know that white cake was traditionally served at weddings because the color white symbolized purity and innocence? It was believed to bring good luck and happiness to the couple. Today, white cake continues to be a popular choice for wedding cakes, symbolizing the beginning of a new chapter in a couple's life.

Recipe for Mrs. Dell W. De Wolfe's White Cake:

Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup butter
- Whites of 7 eggs (well beaten)
- 2/3 cup sweet milk
- 3 cups flour
- 3 teaspoonfuls baking powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour square or round cake tins.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

4. Add the beaten egg whites to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix well to incorporate.

5. Gradually add the sweet milk to the batter, mixing until well combined.

6. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.

7. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tins, dividing it evenly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

10. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve the white cake as is or frost it with your favorite icing. It pairs well with a variety of flavors, such as buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or a simple powdered sugar glaze.
