In a large bowl, add room temperature butter and cream it until soft.

Add granulated sugar to the creamed butter and mix for about 2 minutes until well combined.

In a separate measuring bowl, combine egg whites, milk, and almond extract, then mix briefly.

Return to the butter and sugar mixture, and add a little of the milk mixture to loosen it up.

Combine flour and baking powder, then sift in half of the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix.

Add the remaining milk mixture and mix again.

Sift in the remaining flour mixture and mix until well combined.

Prepare an 8-inch round pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap it down to even it out.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes.

After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before running a spatula around the edges to release it.

Transfer the cake to a cooling rack to cool completely, about an hour.

Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake before placing it on a cutting board.

Cut into the cake to show its light and moist texture.
