• 2 TBS vegetable oil

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and grease and flour an 11x13 inch cake pan.

  Add the egg whites and beat with an electric mix on low for 3-4 minutes until the ingredients are mixed but a few lumps remain.
• Pour into the greased and floured cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until the top of the cake is a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  Allow to cool before frosting.
• Almond Buttercream Frosting:
