How to separate egg yolks from egg whites? First wash the hands and eggs. Put the eggs in the fridge, so it will be easier to separate the yolks from the whites. Take 3 small bowls. Break the egg into the first bowl, trying not to break the yolk. Then drop it into your palm and take the other bowl. Make the whites drip through your fingers into the second bowl. Then add the separated yolks to the third bowl.
If you want to beat egg whites, use fresh and chilled eggs.
Do not open the oven at least 30 minutes. Pierce the cake with a toothpick in the center, if the toothpick is clean, the cake is done.
