For an even lighter cake, separate the eggs and whip the whites to stiff peaks before gently folding them into the yolk mixture. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for best volume. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
