Recipe by: Southern Living
Preparation Time: 0:30
Grease bottom and sides of two 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll
pans with vegetable oil, and line with wax paper; grease
and flour wax paper. Set aside.
Beat egg yolks in a large bowl at high speed of an electric
mixer until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add 1/4 cup
sugar to egg yolks, beating constantly. Beat in vanilla.
Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/2
cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff
peaks form. Fold egg whites into yolk mixture. Combine
flour, baking powder, and salt; gently fold flour mixture,
one third at a time, into egg mixture. Spread batter
evenly into prepared pans; bake at 400 degrees for 5
minutes. When cake is done, turn out onto wire racks to
cool completely. Peel off wax paper.
Stack the two layers on top of each other to allow even
slicing. Using a long serrated knife, slice layers
crosswise into strips of the following widths: 3-1/2
inches, 3 inches, 2-1/2 inches, 2 inches, 1-1/2 inches, 1
inch, and 1/2 inch.
Spread one side of both of the 3-1/2-inch strips with a
thin layer of Satiny Chocolate Frosting. Top each strip
with a 3-inch strip, keeping edges even on one lengthwise
side. Forming two stacks of strips, repeat spreading thin
layers of frosting, and topping with successively smaller
cake strips, keeping edges even, until all cake strips are
used. (Stacks will be slanted on one side, with layers
running horizontal; each stack of cake strips represents
half the triangle.)Turn stacks onto jellyroll pan, even
edges down (layers now run vertical). Cover cake stacks
with aluminum foil, and place a weight (packages of cake or
pancake mix) on the slanted side of 1 hour.
