- Pour egg whites, yolk and extracts into a 2 cup glass measure, and mix with fork until blended.
- Mix flours, gum, sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of electric mixer at slow speed.

- Divide batter evenly between two prepared cake pans, using rubber spatula spread batter to pan walls and smooth tops.
