Does this freeze well? Does this get soggy when frozen?
Thank you.

I don’t think it would get soggy when frozen, but I’ve never tried it with this specific recipe.

Eggs and sugar Beating the eggwhites and sugar simultaneously from the beginning, it does not get stiff. That was a lot of separating by hand to make such a mistake. Hope it still turns out.

It seems like a lot of sugar, even if you half the recipe! And flour, even for a large cake!

We are so sorry to hear that- we hope it turned out ok. Did you beat the egg whites for at least 5-6 minutes with a hand mixer?
