This is my favorite way to use up egg whites. Altough this cake starts out like anglefood cake, but in the end when the melted butter is folded into the batter it changes its texture and does not resemble an anglefood cake when baked. We like this simple cake dusted with powdered sugar and ground nuts. Recipe adapted from The Finnish Cookbook.
