A lady from our church on Vancouver Island brought this to potluck and everyone went crazy for it!! It is very good and I love the crunchiness from the walnuts. I wanted to use up about 2 cups of egg whites I had sitting in the fridge....this is a pic of the cake I made today!!

- 2. There is no need to use any frosting on this cake as it is great without it but I mixed up enough powdered sugar with some milk and about 1/2 tsp maple flavor extract to make a thin drizzle which I did put on the cake. I then sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure to sift the flour before measuring it to ensure an accurate measurement and a lighter cake.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and result in a denser cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the cake rise evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. Opening the oven door will cause the cake to fall.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. A warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
