Ingredients
  

  • 1 package white cake mix 18.25 oz
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp clear vanilla flavoring
  • 4 egg whites
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp clear vanilla flavoring
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1-2 tbsp whole milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix.
  • Add water, sour cream, vegetable oil, almond extract, and vanilla flavoring. Beat until combined.
  • Add egg whites and beat on low speed for about 4 minutes.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting, beat together confectioners' sugar and butter until creamy.
  • Add clear vanilla flavoring, almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Beat for 5 minutes until light and fluffy, adding more milk if needed for consistency.
  • Level the cooled cakes and apply a crumb coat of frosting. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Apply the final layer of frosting and decorate as desired.

Notes

For a decorative touch, pipe rosettes or add edible pearls. Store the cake in the refrigerator if making on a warm day to keep the frosting firm.
