Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture
Grease a high-sided mold and dust it with flour
Pour in the prepared batter, leaving about 1/4 of the mold empty to allow for expansion
Bake in a hot oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through but not overcooked
To check for doneness, insert a knife that should come out clean
Remove from the mold once cooled and dust with confectioner's sugar.
