  1. Hi, your recipe looks good.

    I just learn how to bake cake & I prefer softer texture.

    Is it possible to separate the yolk & white?

    I look for to hearing from you.

    Thank you.

  2. Hi Elvira,
    Thanks for dropping by. Yes you can do the separate yolk and white method. Just use half sugar for yolks and the other half for the egg whites. :)
