Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
  3. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5–7 minutes.

  5. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter to maintain its airy quality.
