Servings:12
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line two
9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Then grease and flour the paper.
Sift together the cornstarch, flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the oil, milk, water and vanilla. Beat until it forms a very
smooth batter.
In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until frothy, add the cream of
tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and
beat until very well blended.
Fold the egg whites into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool
then frost with Orange
Frosting.
Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the orange zest and
salt. Beat in the confectioners' sugar alternately with the orange
and lemon juices. Continue to beat until light and fluffy. Use to
frost cooled cake.
REVIEWS:
This cake was very moist. It was denser than most white cakes but was
very good. The frosting was excellent but I did have to add more
confectioners sugar to thicken enough to be spreadable on the cake. I
refrigerated till serving time.
I thought this recipe was absolutely simple and delicious! I did not
make the frosting, but it still tasted wonderful. I added about 1/2 a
teaspoon of almond extract, and it made a perfect blend of flavor
between the vanilla. I must add that it is a bit of a heavier cake
that rises in the oven and then falls a bit. I would still recommend
it to anyone who loves white cakes. Please rate the frosting, so I
can see if I want to try it! Thank You!
This cake was pretty good, but it tasted like it had too much flour.
It was a little heavier than cake usually is.
Good recipe. I used a rectangular pan and made the frosting with
cream cheese. very tasty.
Blue ribbon white cake is the best white cake I, have ever made &
eaten. This recipe deserves a a 10. Excellent, excellent.
It was a little strange to make, but the results were great. Nice
cake when you don't want it fighting with the filling or icing
flavors. I made it with a lemon curd filling with lemon icing. Excellent.
This cake and icing are both good, but the cake was not as fluffy as
I was hoping.
Description:
"This has won three Blue Ribbons at three different fairs. When
making the frosting make sure that you use fresh squeezed juice
rather than bottled."

NOTES : This is my recipe that is posted at allrecipes. It did get
some terrible reviews, but then I never include terrible reviews in
any recipe because: there is no accounting for taste & some folks
just don't know how to follow a recipe. It did come in 1st at the
Wisconsin State Fair a few years ago as well as county fairs. The
cornstarch is used to lighten the cake a bit (make it closer to cake
flour rather than regular flour. The cream of tartar "whitens" the
cake -- therefore, yes you can eliminate it if you don't want it (but
NOT if you plan on entering it in a competition for white cakes!!)
