Cake Recipes

•  Preheat oven 350F

• In a clean bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt, once soft peaks are formed, gradually add 1/2 of  the sugar, whip until shiny and stiff peaks are formed. Don’t whip it too long though, you want the egg whites to retain moisture, turn the mixer off at once when stiff peaks are formed.
• Scrape the whipped egg whites into another bowl. Set aside.
• Put all the egg yolks into the mixing bowl you just used for making the meringue. It is okay, it doesn’t have to be spotless. Add remaining sugar to the egg yolks, using same wire whip attachment, mix the egg yolks, first at medium speed and then at high speed, once your egg yolks have doubled in volume and became pale in color, add oil, by tablespoon, mixing well after each addition, then add warm water, by tablespoon, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined. Turn of the mixer.
• Using fine mesh strainer  sift about 1/3 of flour into the egg yolk mixture and carefully fold the flour in with a spatula, then add about 1/3 of whipped egg white mixture and fold in. Continue with rest of the flour and whipped egg whites, until no streaks are visible. Be gentle and don’t over mix. You are looking for a light and airy batter.
