for about 5 minutes or until you see them pale in color and the volume has
increased about 2-3 times the volume. Let the eggs and sugar whip for like 5
minutes.
Once the eggs are done add in the dry ingredients sifted twice
prior to starting and then sift in 4 parts into the batter, and fold it into
the volumized eggs (use a spatula) it takes time but do it in parts so you
don't reduce the volume of the eggs.
Pour into three 8 inch or 9 inch pans do not grease the sides of
the pan use parchement paper on the bottom of the pan, Bake the cakes at 350 F
until GOLDEN make sure they are golden, let them cool off completely! Just run
your knife around the cake pan when they come out.

ITALIAN BUTTERCREAM is meringue-based and
very light, creamy and less sweet than American buttercream. You can flavor it
with water flavoring you like. It is a very stable buttercream and awesome to
decorate with.
RECIPE:
YEILD: about 3 cups enough to cover 8x4 inch cake
Sugar Syrup
150 grams White Sugar
80ml or 1/3cup Water
MERINGUE:
100 grams Egg Whites
225 or 1 block Butter
TIPS:
Make sure before adding the butter, the meringue must be in at
room temperature
If the mixture doesn't get thicker, put it in the fridge for
about 15 minutes and whip it again until it thickens.
To see if the sugar syrup is in a soft ball stage without thermometer just tries the water test. If you drop the syrup into the cold water and the syrup easily forms a ball while in the cold water but flattens once removed from the water it's done. Also you can see that the bubbles are big and start boiling slowly.
