Instructions:

  2. Step 2: Grease your 9-inch round cake pans with butter or line with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Separate the egg whites from the yolks into different bowls, ensuring no yolk in the whites.

  7. Step 7: Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form for a light cake.
  8. Step 8: Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate.
  9. Step 9: Divide the batter between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Step 10: Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  12. Step 12: Assemble the cake by frosting between layers, on top, and around the sides once cool.
