Ingredients Substitutions
Flour Using cake flour in this sheet cake gives the cake a delicate fine crumb. Cake flour has less protein when compared to allpurpose flour which makes it ideal for this tender cake. If you dont have any on hand make your own cake flour to use.

Butter I recommend using unsalted butter for many baked goods including this cake. If you do use salted butter you may want to omit the salt in the recipe.
Extracts Both vanilla and almond extract are added to the cake batter. If you have a nut allergy you could substitute vanilla for almond extract. Or you can also use Imitation Almond Extract which is typically not made with almonds. Be sure to check the ingredients. If you just dont like the flavor the cake does not taste almondy. It simply adds a freshness a refined elegance to the overall flavor.
Egg Whites You will need only egg whites in this cake recipe. This gives you a lighter and fluffier texture. To separate the egg white from the yolk simply crack the egg over a slotted spoon that is over a bowl. Let the egg whites fall through the slots in the spoon. Dont throw away the yolks! Beat them and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 23 days to use in other recipes like my Browned Butter Toffee Cookies.
Milk For the best flavor and texture of this vanilla cake use whole milk. 1 or 2 milk will work if that is all you have on hand but I do not recommend skim milk.
Can I Use A Different Pan?
Sure! If you dont have a jelly roll pan a 1015inch pan with a 1inch lip you can make this vanilla cake in another pan. You could use 2 8inch or 9inch round cake pans. Or for a thicker cake you could also make it in a 913inch baking dish. However the baking times may have to be adjusted so watch the cake carefully.
How To Store Vanilla Delight Cake
This sheet cake should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or at least covered. It
