Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thoroughly grease and flour baking pans.

• With an electric mixer on low speed (these are her instructions, but I'll admit to impatience and using high), beat 2/3 cup egg white until stiff, not dry.
• Add gradually to the main mixture in the large bowl a 1/4 cup of sugar, beating constantly until stiff. Fold egg whites into batter.
• Measure batter by cupful into well-greased and floured cake pans. (I used one 9 X 13 and one 8 X 8 and then measured them after cooled to make them three same-sized layers.)
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, checking towards the end. Cake is done when a toothpick can be inserted in the center and come out clean.
