Tips:
- To make a light and fluffy cake, it's important to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites, as this can make them dry and crumbly.
- When folding the egg whites into the batter, do so gently to avoid deflating them.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- When the cake is done baking, let it cool completely before frosting it.
- If you want a lighter frosting, use whipped cream instead of buttercream.
- You can decorate the cake with any type of topping you like, such as fresh fruit, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
