  • Fold the egg whites into the batter gently. Overmixing will deflate the batter and result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
