Make the Cake

1. Beat the egg whites with the sugar. Combine the yolks with the rest of the ingredients.

2. Fold together with the whites. 

3. Pour the batter into three nine-inch round pans. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 25 minutes or until light brown.

Make the Pastrami

1. Boil together all the sauce ingredients. Lower the fire and add the pastrami. Cook together for 20–30 minutes. 

Assemble

Note:

This freezes very well.

Tip:

If you top the cake with something else that’s not so spicy, such as vegetarian liver, you might want to add more seasoning to it.
