Basic White Cake Batter
From Southern Living

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
3 cups cake flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
6 egg whites

Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with milk and water, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in extracts.

Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; fold about one-third of egg whites into batter. Gradually fold in remaining egg whites.

The recipe makes 7 cups of batter. Divide the batter between two round cake pans or use one sheet cake pan or a bundt pan, or cupcake cake tins. For a round pan four layer cake double the recipe.
