Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Wedding Cake Recipe

ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups sugar
4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6 egg whites

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

directions

CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Pour in buttermilk and mix slowly until well blended. Stir in flavorings.

In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the cake batter. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F, then lower heat to 300 degrees F and bake for about 25 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Remove cakes from oven and cool on racks. After 10 minutes, remove from pans and cool completely.

FROSTING: Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Spread frosting between cooled layers and on top and sides of cake.
