  4. Beat egg whites at high speed with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in batter. Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9”round cake pans.

Notes
*****If using a metal bowl and heavy duty mixer to beat frosting, it will take 3-4 minutes to reach spreadable consistency. Frosting may take twice as long to thicken if using another type of mixer and glass bowl.
