  3. In another bowl mix the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla for 2 mins(or until pale)
  4. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks and use a spatula to fold everything together.
  5. Add a large spoonful of the egg whites to the cake mix, beat together to loosen the mixture, then fold the remaining egg whites until you have a smooth batter (be careful not to overstir)
