Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and Preheat
· Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
· Grease and flour an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
· In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: The “Reverse Creaming” Method
· Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients.
· Mix on low speed until the mixture resembles fine, sandy crumbs. This step coats the flour particles with fat, resulting in a more tender and fine-crumbed cake.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
· In a separate medium bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and almond extract until just combined.
Step 5: Create the Batter
