In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites, milk, and vanilla together until combined.

Add ⅓ of the egg mixture to the butter mixture. Beat well.
Continue alternating until all ingredients are combined and mixed well.
Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans.
Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. OR when they spring back when gently pressed in the center.
Allow the cakes to cool for 15 minutes before flipping them onto a cooling rack. You may need to use a knife or spatula to loosen them a bit around the edges.
Allow them to cool completely before decorating.
Prepare the frosting by placing the heavy whipping cream in a medium mixing bowl.
With a hand or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream for 3-5 minutes or until peaks begin to form.
