Almond White Cake

​I bake cakes for a living and sometimes I use words to describe cakes that might not be clear to people who are not professional bakers.  (My family reminds me of this ALL the time.)  It happens completely by accident and I don't intentionally try to diminish anyone's cake knowledge, it's just that I get used to using words like yellow cake and white cake and assuming that the person that I'm speaking too, understands the difference.

So just to clear up any further confusion, I want to make it clear what I mean when I use the words "white" and "yellow" cake.  A yellow cake is rich and buttery and contains whole eggs.  A white cake is made with egg whites and it's usually lighter, fluffier and sometimes referred to as "sponge" cake.  Both are delicious and most people prefer one over the other but often use the terms white and yellow cake interchangeably. 

Now that you know the difference, if your preference is white cake - I've got the perfect recipe for you.   This is one of my go-to recipes and I've used it to make all sorts of other cakes like my pink lemonade cake and my chocolate chip cake.  It's super delicious and it never lets me down.
