Jump to RecipeStart by preheating your oven to 250 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Once all the sugar has been added, beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is glossy and thick.

Let them cool completely before assembling the cake.
