Beat the egg whites until stiff and hold a peak.

Add a little of the egg whites to the add yolk mixture to thin it out a little.

Blend in the rest of the egg whites with a spatula to create a homogenous mixture.

Pour the batter into a square or rectangular mold lined with baking paper. Or into cupcake molds.

Bake the cake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. For the cupcakes, bake 20 minutes.
