\u2764\ufe0fWHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have followed our website for any amount of time, you know we love all the old-fashioned recipes. We try to include all of them on our website because they take us right back to our childhood. I remember my Nannie making this cake and it was always on a cake stand and waiting for us to enjoy at Easter. She would decorate it with little easter eggs and we loved it so much. <\/p>\n

LOTS OF EGGS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This recipe requires 9 egg whites, 5 for the cake and 4 for the frosting. Yes, that is a lot of eggs to use, but you can buy just egg whites. They are in a container next to the eggs. Be sure to look at the label; it should say \u201cegg whites.\u201d You don\u2019t want to get egg beaters or anything like that. One egg is equal to about 3 tablespoons of egg whites. <\/p>\n

LEFTOVER EGG YOLKS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now that you have made this cake, you have 9 egg yolks left over.\u00a0 Here are some tips on freezing or keeping the yolks. Place one egg yolk in each ice cube cavity of a clean ice cube tray. Add a pinch of salt to each yolk (if you plan to eventually use them in savory recipes) or a pinch of sugar (if you will use them in sweet recipes). Freeze overnight until solid, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag. To use, thaw in refrigerator and then mix well. They will keep in the freezer for up to three months. Leftover egg yolks can also be refrigerated for 3-4 days.<\/p>\n

BATTER WILL BE THICK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This will be a thick batter, and it\u2019s important not to overbake it; if you do, it will turn out tough. You can also make this cake in a 9X13 if you like. All ovens vary, so please check the cake for doneness before the allotted cooking time.<\/p>\n

STORING & SERVING SIZE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We store this cake in a cool place, but you can also put it in the refrigerator. It makes 8-10 servings. <\/p>\n

CAN I MAKE THIS IN ADVANCE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes, you can easily make this cake in advance. We find that works just fine. This is the perfect holiday cake, we love it for Easter and Christmas! It\u2019s also great for any baby or wedding shower. <\/p>\n
